All About Science Year 6 were learning about
electricity and with the help
of Mr Croft, they now know
how to make series and
parallel circuits. They are
also able to calculate the
cost of electricity.
Year 8 is learning about solids, liquids, gases and plasma.
Experiments were conducted to make plasma and shift
substances between different states such as a solid and a
gas. Using solid carbon dioxide, they turned it straight into a
gas, a process called sublimation.
