Electricity experiments - Let there be light...!

Today we explored electricity. We learned how tiny atoms were and we learned how tiny the nucleus of the atom itself is. We saw diagrams showing how electrons "orbit" around the nucleus and how when they flow, they create an electric current.
Using all this, we created simple circuits using bulbs, buzzers and motors. Lots of us created propellers and fans, one boy even made a hair dryer!












The classroom started to sound like a traffic jam in Time Square with all the beeping and buzzing!
