    Year 4's Conductors vs. Insulators Experiment!

    Year 4, we conducted our own science experiment! We created circuits using various equipment to test whether items in the room were conductors or insulators. If the light bulb glowed, the object was a conductor of electricity; if it didn't, the object was an insulator. We’re absolutely loving this topic! 💡

Let’s celebrate everyone’s success together.
