Sparking Creativity
Toady Room Two started their Inquiry. The big idea is Creativity and Innovations and that they will show an understanding of
- a product should fill a need and be functional
- they can find solutions, explore ideas, problem solve and use creative thinking.
To introduce the inquiry the children are being encouraged to question how circuits work. They are doing this by exploring with wires, batteries, bulbs, buzzers etc. The children have also been encouraged to bring in to school old appliances that we are taking apart to look at how they work.
Tuesday was our first session of the inquiry and the children had a great time discovering!
Some of the class experimenting
Jack seems pleased that his circuit worked
We quickly learnt that the batteries need some thing to power rather than feed the power back intro the battery pack, it SMOKED !
