Cedar Class Explore Electrical Circuits in Science

Learners in Cedar Class at Rowan School have been developing their scientific knowledge and skills through an engaging topic on electrical circuits.

During their recent Science lessons, learners explored how circuits work by designing and building their own simple electrical systems. They demonstrated impressive creativity and curiosity, carrying out investigations to identify which materials conduct electricity and which do not.

Throughout the topic, learners remained highly engaged and showed a strong understanding of key concepts. They confidently used scientific language to explain their findings, discussing how and why circuits function in different ways.

A particular highlight of the learning was the opportunity for learners to problem-solve by identifying and fixing β€˜broken’ circuits. This hands-on approach encouraged critical thinking and resilience, as learners tested ideas and adapted their designs to achieve a working outcome. They also explored how adding more batteries affects a circuit, observing changes such as the brightness of a lightbulb.

Snita Verma, Principal at Rowan School, said:

“It has been fantastic to see Cedar Class so engaged in their Science learning. Opportunities like this allow learners to explore, question and experiment in a meaningful way. Their ability to apply scientific language and demonstrate problem-solving skills is a real credit to their hard work and enthusiasm.”

The topic has provided learners with a strong foundation in understanding electrical circuits, while also fostering teamwork, creativity and confidence in their scientific abilities.
