Electrical Circuits

Once I had a activity where I  put different materials in a circuit and see if they were conductors of electricity or an insulator of electricity. There where different materials that I could test like a paper clip ,plastic mesh, a screw ,and a piece of metal. My group and I took turns testing materials going counter clockwise . The people in my group were , Me , Jackson ,and mason who are all my friends. We had to have good cooperation when we had to help each other hold the wires. We had to add some materials like chalk and a metal piece that wasn’t on our paper because we had extras in our bag. The materials we used where extra wire , a D battery , a AA battery , a Christmas light , and a bag of materials that we tested.

I wonder... What are insulators and conductors?

On Friday we went to the wonder room to build circuits. We tested different materials to see if they work. Some Martials we used are a fuzzy thing, a nail, and pencil with lots more. First my group and I used a pencil it is a conducer and an insulator the wood is an insulator and the Led is a Conductor. So we tried to do the led but we found out that the battery was not working. So Ms. Glay gave us a new battery and it worked. And the fuzzy strip was Insulator and a nail was a Conductor.

Building Circuits

This science activity we did was really fun. It was about electricity. The materials we needed were two wires, a light bulb, and a d cell battery. If you want you can have a battery holder and/or a light bulb holder. I used a light bulb holder. What you do is stick the light bulb in the holder, you stick the end of one wire under the light bulb. Then you stick the end of another wire under the light bulb, screw the light bulb in. Take the wires[ HOLD IT BY THE RUBBER] put one wire on one side of the metal battery holder and put the other wire on the metal part on the other side. Presto! Your light bulb should light up.
