Electrical Circuits

This week with Energy Options we looked at electrical circuits, the components they need and how they work.
A standard circuit requires copper wire (for the current to travel through), a power source (battery in our case), a switch (to turn it on and off) and we used light bulbs and LEDs to see what these components together do.

We then explored other ways of using Brain Boxes to create other types of electrical circuits. One thing we learnt was that you needed to make sure when you connected the power source (battery) you had to make sure the positive and negative were in the right place.
