Electricity

Over this half term, Year 6 have been learning about electricity. As part of this, we explored voltage, which is the force that pushes electricity through a circuit and can affect how components, such as bulbs, work.

The children carried out an investigation to find out whether increasing the voltage increases the brightness of a single bulb. This involved identifying the independent, dependent and controlled variables, creating a hypothesis, constructing a conclusion after the results had been recorded and then carefully evaluating the effectiveness of the experiment.
