Electricity

We have been investigating electricity.  We talked about things in our homes that use electricity and how we can make a bulb light up.  We used a battery as the power and connected it to a bulb using wires. On the end of the wires are crocodile clips (they look like a crocodiles teeth!)  We tried all sorts of ways to make the bulb light up but we soon realised we needed to make a circuit.  Hey Presto we have a lit bulb! We then tried to power a buzzer, it sounded very funny and tickled our finger tips when we touched it.  We had lots of fun!
