Circuits, circuits, circuits.

Room 11 and Room 12 have been brainstorming their science projects and looking at "electricity".  We came up with really, really good projects but we didn't know how to make them. (Keycards for class doors? Nightlights? Rockets that fire lasers? Electric go-kart? Lipstick tasers?) How does electricity actually work? We used a game to work out how circuits work (check out Darius's, Hosana's and Yashvi's circuits). We also tried making actual circuits and making our light bulbs work.

We have been discussing the NZ elections. We focussed on "having a say" and forming an opinion. Here are some of the students' opinions they posted on their blogs:

Who are you voting for and why?
