When we got back to school after
home learning Mr Reid told us what an
Insulator is. An Insulator is something
that does not conduct electricity. The
materials that do not conduct
electricity are wood, plastic and rubber.

Mr Reid also told us what a conductor is. Some people in
the class did a PowerPoint on conductors and insulators
and we learnt a lot more. The materials that are good
conductors are silver, gold, copper, aluminium, mercury,
steel, iron, seawater.
Copper tape circuit.
•
We made a circuit
using copper tape and small
L.E.D bulbs and a squishy
circuit battery pack
to power the circuit.
Using the squishy
circuit app
•
This was our first time using the
squishy circuit app. We had to pick a
project of the getting started
section. Our groups project was to
make a whale :)
Here is a picture of our plane
•
We discussed different ideas and voted on a
boat or a plane and we decided to do a
crashed plane.
•
The process of us making our plane started
with the sky and the desert island. Then
we started to make the plane which took a
few attempts. Then we added a bit
more detail to our scene.
•
We added
the electrical components by taping the
wires together to make it work. When we
turn on the battery pack the fan/propeller
turned on because the
wires were taped together. We did
the same to the L.E.D. but the wires were in
the playdough the make the bulb work.
Here is a time-lapse of us making our project.

Conductors. Conductors. Mr Reid also told us what a conductor is. Some people in the class did a PowerPoint on conductors and insulators and we learnt a lot more. The materials that are good conductors are silver, gold, copper, aluminium, mercury, steel, iron, seawater.
We made a circuit using copper tape and small L.E.D bulbs and a squishy circuit battery pack to power the circuit. Copper tape circuit.
