Science Alive - Electrifying Electricity

The atmosphere was electrifying in Room 18 this morning.  We learnt about electricity, power sources, batteries, currents, electrons, circuits (series and parallel) and circuit diagrams , LEDs, switches, conductors and insulators. How many can you explain to someone at home?

Once we had this sussed everyone got to build their own night light. They looked very impressive when we pulled the curtains and made the room darker. 

If you want to try some of these ideas at home you can get the kits from Electroflash. Many of the children wanted this link to their website so I have put it on the image below. Alternatively there are some fun BrainBox kits you can pick up online and at retail outlets.
