HANDS ON!: Make a electrical circuit.

As a final task for this Science Unit we invite yo to create an electrical circuit and explain it to show all your knowlegde about this topic. You will work with a partner.

To create your electrical circuit you need the following:
  • 1.5 volt battery.
  • A light bulb holder.
  • A light bulb.
  • A switch.
  • Some wires.
In this video you can watch a person who is going to show you how to make the circuit. Let's have a look before you start to create you own one.


Now it's your turn. Let's create your own one. 

When you finish it, you will record a video explaning the electrical circuit. Before that you have to write down in your notebook the script. 

This notes may help you to do it:
  • Hello, We are...........
  • We've made an electrical circuit.
  • The electrical circuit has got four basic componect.
    • Generator: It is the source of electricity.
    •  .....
    •  ......
    • ......
  • In my circuit this is the Generator, then the electricity travels through this wires,....................
  • Bye, Bye. We hope you've understood and you've liked it.
Then upload your video to you Youtube Channel and create a post in your kidblog. In the post you have to:
  • Say Hello.
  • Explain this is the final task of the Science Unit.
  • In this Science unit we have learn the four parts of the circuit which are:
    • Generator............
    • .........
    • ...........
    • ............
  • We have created one circuit and recorded the explanation in this video.
  • Insert the video.
  • Say Bye, Bye
You will be asses with this rubric.

ELECTRICITY (Production, transmission, distribution and consumption)


Have a look to this photo. It is a Hydroelectric Power Plant.


  •  How do you think electricity is produced in this dam?

  • What kind of source of energy is it?




Let's have a look to that video. It will show you the way the electricity has from its production to its cosumption at your homes.



Now we will invite you to read all the information the class book gives you about this process and do this quizz to show how much you have learnt about it.

MAGNETS AND MAGNETISM

Today we are going to learn and investigate about magnetism.

LET'S START WITH A WONDERFUL SONG!! (Pay attention with the vocabulary)




A MAGNET


It can attract objets made of iron of mixtures of iron

MAGNETISM

It is the attraction created by a magnet

LET'S LEARN A BIT MORE ABOUT THIS ISSUE IN THE FOLLOWING LINK


LOOK FOR THE POLES AND THE MAGNETIC FIELD IN THIS ACTIVITY



If you have more time and you want to learn a bit more and do some  extra-activities about magnetism. Lets have a look into this link.

ELECTRICAL CURRENT AND ELECTRIC CIRCUITS

Let's learn about the electrical current and the circuits. Pay attention it will be very useful to create circuits.




In these lessons you will learnt the different components of a circuit and how to build them. 



If you have finish, and you have more time you can check all what you have learnt with this two activities. They are fun and you will review and learn more.

Electrical charges

We are going to start a new topic, this time we are going to deal with electricity and magnetism.



  • What's happening in the photo?
  • How is that phenomenon produced?
  • Do thunder and lightning occur at the same time?
  • If so, Why don't we listen them at the same time?

LET'S HAVE A LOOK TO A EXPERIMENT, it will be very useful to understand the different concepts. 



 Do you think all objects have electric charges?

We can have 
      • objects positively charged.
      • objects negatively charged.
      • objects which are neutral.

When we rub to objects made of different materials, we are creating STATIC ELECTRICITY.


LET'S REVIEW THE VOCABURALY WITH THIS ACTIVITY.
