Elm class visited the Science Museum this week to explore electricity for ourselves. We had tickets to the exciting Wonderlab, where we were able to carry out lots of different experiments for ourselves.
Some of us also visited the first floor of the museum to find out about how the first electricity was generated- we were amazed at the size of the machines and how many different parts and processes they carried out.
We also were invited to 'Live Wire'- an interactive show about electricity. One of the Science Museum 'Explainers' led the show. We saw and participated in some practical experiments about conductors and insulators and generated our own power to power some disco lights!
Last week, Year 5 visited the Science Museum to experience the Wonderlab and space galleries! We had a fantastic day, revisiting all our previous science topics and learning some more about life in space! We particularly enjoyed the friction slides, in which we raced on different surfaces (grass, plastic and wood) to see the effects of friction! We are scientists in the making! Of course, there was time for a few #selfies along the way!
