Electricians in the making - Mr. Geaney

The children in Mr. Geaney's sixth class were busy this week with everything electricity related. As part of our science study, we had to investigate the topic of electricity. We had the opportunity to research the history of Thomas Edison using computers, delve into the history of electricity itself while answering some questions and designing posters to display around the school warning other pupils of the dangers of electricity. However, our favourite had to be working with circuits. We learned that to make a circuit we needed a full loop with no breaks. Once we got into the swing of it we were able to make a lightbulb light, introduce switches to turn it on and off, make a propeller turn and make a buzzer sound.

Without a doubt, there are some budding electricians in sixth class!
