British Science Week

British Science Week

We had a fascinating workshop with Mr Birchall from Primary Science looking at electricity. We had a go at several different challenges making circuits of various difficulties using a range of components. We made a Morse Code board and had a go at using Morse Code to send secret messages. We also played a fairground game where we had to move the rod along the circuit without turning the light on.

We also learned lots of history about electricity. Do you know static electricity was first discovered in 600BC?

In 1746 AD Abbé Nollet electrocuted 200 monkswhen he tried to test how fast electricity travelled.

We had a great time to launch Science Week.
