This term we are studying electricity and energy as a topic. We have started by looking at using electricity safely in the home and being aware of dangers near substations and power lines. We are writing a rap which we hope to record and publish on our blog soon!
We have had a look at what's inside a battery and even tried making our own from a lemon!
We needed zinc covered nails and copper pennies. Once they were stuck in the lemon we needed to add wires.
