Food Chains

Hello children! Class 5 has been working on food chains. They got in groups of three and made a marine, freshwater or land food chain. Then they wrote a text explaining what the producer, consumer and decomposer was. Next they looked for pictures of the different plants and animals in their food chain. Finally, they made a poster with the pictures and the text. You will soon see the results on the walls of the school’s corridor.



Electricity

Hi! We are class 6. We explain some activities that we do in science lessons. The activities are about electricity. Electrical appliances can function with mains or batteries. For example: The DS uses electricity from both, a camera uses electricity from batteries and a TV uses electricity from mains.
Objects have electrical charges, which are positive and negative. They can change and create static electricity. For example, when you rub a balloon with cotton or wool the charges change and the number of positive and negative charges change.
Class 6 has also been studying about electrical circuits. They have studied the different parts of a circuit, the symbols and when do they work or not. They have also made real circuits which worked! Watch the video and have fun!
