Some of you are starting to send me what you have done so far. They are super!  Please remember to send me any work that you do not have answer sheets for.  I would particularly like to see RE and any independent writing/Science work that you have done.  Thank you.

Please remember to pause the video when you need to do calculations and give yourself plenty of time. Also remember that the answers are always given by the person who is presenting the videos. Remember to also show any of your working out. I have uploaded the White Rose worksheet and answer sheet.

2. Science

Testing for conductors and insulators: my explanation of the results

Yesterday in class we conducted our experiment.  The conductors (materials that made the light bulb come on when placed in the circuit) were the paper clip and foil.  The cotton wool, plastic, wood and cardboard were insulators (materials that did not make the light bulb come on).  Answer the following questions:

1. What material is both a conductor and an insulator? 
2. Were your predictions right? 
3. We noticed that if we used less crocodile clips the bulb was brighter.  Why do you think this happened? 
4. We also noticed that when we put another bulb into the circuit the bulbs became less bright.  Why do you think this happened?
