We've been learning about electricity. We found out how to make a complete circuit and how to incorporate a switch. We thought that the best way to show how this works would be to construct a lighthouse and put a duck or a boat in mortal peril. The girls explain how this works...
Kelsey and Nikki get the background of their lighthouse ready |
Alana and Bernadette prepare their lighthouse |
Wiktoria feeds the wire through a hole made in the top of the Pringle's tin |
Tomi starts work on her circuit |
Daniele and Kalin figure out the length of wire needed |
Wire strippers are needed to pare back the plastic coating on the wire |
Hannah and Julianna are a picture of concentration as they work on their circuit |
With the lighthouse operational, it's time to work on the display. |
Tomi is delighted that her circuit is working. |
Something's missing... |
Almost there! |
The switch and circuit work, this duck's life depended on it! |
This boat will never know how close it came to being shipwrecked |
Finishing touches |
Another lucky duck! |
Shaunna to the rescue! |
Who's in more danger from this potential collision, the island or the duck?! |
It's okay people, this boat is safe! |
