Session D: Circuit Investigations
This activity from Hamilton Trust, helps children investigate the properties of electric circuits. It provides a concept cartoon, which is a great tool to assess children's understanding and challenge their ideas on topics. In this activity children investigate the question, 'Does the length of the wire make a difference to how brightly a bulb glows?' They could also look at other questions to investigate including, 'Does the thickness of the wire affect the brightness of the bulb?'
