Making Connections Term 3

We have been exploring connections through building circuits. 

GET IT:
First we did a lot of looking at how electricity helps us and the different types of electricity that we use. We produced a visual presentation of 'Things that Light Up'

We also used the site called The Fuse Box where we learnt a lot about how electrical circuits work. We found out loads of interesting facts and history about electricity too.

SORT IT: 
We spent some time building and drawing some different types of circuits.

There were...

Simple Circuits:

Parallel Circuits:

Series Circuits:

Switch Circuits:

USE IT:
Next we applied all that we had learned into designing our very own games!  We had to think about who would play our game, what the purpose of our game was, what we would call our games and what instructions we needed to provide our players.
After we had done a lot of thinking and planning we then had to think about what type of circuit we would need to build into our game to make it interactive.
We have worked super hard and are very proud of what we have made!
