Science

In science we ae learning about electricity. We have made a simple switch. First, we pushed two split pins into a piece of cardboard. We then attached a paperclip to one of the pins. Using wires and a battery pack, we then made a simple circuit. When the paperclip was pushed into the "on" position (so it was touching the 2nd split pin) the current could flow the whole of the circuit and cause the light bulb to light. When the paperclip was turned in the "off" position, as there was now a break in the circuit, the light bulb went out.
