This term we are thinking about changes in many ways, Watch this story Changes, Changes by Pat Hutchins. The characters in this story kept changing to meet different situations. The shapes they used were the same but could be changed to build different things. It made me think? Do we change inside by what is happening around us? How do we adapt to changes?

Science-Let’s get back to our exciting electricity topic:
L.O- I can answer an enquiry about conductors and insulators
Enquiry question-What materials would you use instead of wires in a circuit?
Read this news story about soldiers wearing ‘smart’ clothing which conducts electricity: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-17580666
Can you remember what the terms conductors and insulators mean? Watch this video if you are unsure-https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/z2882hv/articles/zxv482p
Why do you think a soldier need to be able to conduct electricity?
Think of a soldier in the desert that has ripped part of his ‘smart’ clothing and therefore lost part of the circuit in his GPS system. As he has no other navigation guides he is unable to provide his location for rescue. Which materials are used to make electric circuits? Why they think these materials are used? The soldier has a pack containing a variety of objects. Which could be used to complete a circuit to activate his GPS to save him?
Choose from the objects pictured below:
He has a cotton back pack, a plastic cover note pad, a tin water flask, metal dog tags (identification necklaces) and a wooden shovel.
How could you find out whether electricity can pass through the materials?
Can you write an investigation to help to choose which material you could use? Focus on recording their results and explaining what the results show. It could look something like this:
Results (Imagined-What do you think you would have found out?)
Then you will need to produce a radio or video message to send to the soldier explaining what he needs to do to produce a working circuit therefore enabling his GPS and why they are confident that this will work providing scientific evidence to reassure him! You will need to provide a list of all possible conductors in case some are damaged when he comes to use them. You could video this message and post on Class Dojo or write a script.
After you have completed this activity please self-assess using the following criteria. If you send me this self-assessment on Class Dojo I will add you 10 dojo points! You might need to ask a parent to help you with this bit.
Meeting expectation: I can describe the circuit involved in the soldiers suit and explain how my experiments results (orally/written form) would show that (in general) metals conduct electricity and other materials don’t.
Exceeding expectations: As above for meeting, but I can also suggest other items to fit into the pattern and explore exceptions to the rule. I can apply the terms conduct/insulate to explain safety rules, e.g. not putting knife in toaster.
Art-If you enjoyed making mask try designing and making a necklace or some other Egyptian jewellery out of recycled materials

Watch the 3 films if you have time. https://www.thinkuknow.co.uk/8_10/watch/. Could you record your own video teaching next year’s year four classes what you have learnt? Alternatively you could design a poster to show what you now know.

PSHE
This term we are thinking about changes in many ways, Watch this story Changes, Changes by Pat Hutchins. The characters in this story kept changing to meet different situations. The shapes they used were the same but could be changed to build different things. It made me think? Do we change inside by what is happening around us? How do we adapt to changes?
