Science Walk

We have been learning about Electricity. Mrs Wallace has told us about the dangers of electricity and how electricity can be made. Room 1 has taken part in cooperative challenges to help us investigate what appliances use this form of energy, and whether they use battery or mains electricity. We have also discussed the 'path of electricity' - how the energy gets from the power station to our homes. Primary 1a went outside, and using binoculars we tried to find as many uses of electrical power as possible. We had to speak to our team about whether it was mains or battery, and find out where the power was connected. Some of our class spotted the danger signs the electricity companies use around pylons and substations. Room 1 made good use of digital cameras to record their learning. We took pictures and filmed videos of our findings. Look at our pictures - all taken by the boys and girls in room 1!! Wow!!
