Today, you are going to create your own simple flowchart for an everyday event.  Choose something fun that you like doing.  Here is my example for you…

Now, just like yesterday, we are going to change the flowchart into instructions.  Our sentences are always going to begin with a time-fronted adverbial (don’t forget the comma!!!)  and we are going to write using rich language and lovely vocabulary choices.  Here is my example…

Maths:

Yesterday, we investigated 2D shapes.  Today, let’s look at 3D shapes.

Reading Comprehension

Watch the silly video on this page and then see if you can match the correct diagram of the component to the picture, in the games below.

Science:  Circuit Diagrams

Circuit diagrams

We don’t draw circuit diagrams with colourful pictures of bulbs and buzzers because not everyone can draw well and so, it would start to get difficult working out what’s what. Instead, we draw circuit diagrams.

Circuit diagrams use symbols to represent the components in a circuit.

circuit components table

So, instead of drawing a circuit for a torch like this:

Battery correctly connected switch on

…we draw a circuit diagram like this:

Simple series circuit

DID YOU KNOW???

Short circuits

A short circuit happens when electric current can flow round a circuit from one terminal of the battery to the other without passing through any components. In a short circuit, the wire heats up and the battery will go flat.

Challenge 1:

CLICK ME

To play a circuit builder game.  You add the components to the circuit to see what they can do.  Can you design a circuit that would work in a useful electrical device?  Like an automatic page-turner for your reading book or an automatic ice-cream stirrer for in the garden???

Challenge 2:

I want you to hunt around your house for devices that contain a circuit.  Anything that takes batteries and produces noise, light, movement etc, using the power from them!

Can you draw a circuit diagram using the correct symbols for each device?

Are there any devices that have a component that we don’t know the symbol for?  Maybe you could research what the correct symbol is or tell us about it on tomorrow’s meeting!

If you want to draw or photograph the device to go along with the circuit diagram, you can.

remember, electrical devices can be dangerous so always ask an adult’s permission before using one.
