Makerspace - Electricity

Hi my name is Yazmin I’m a year 5 in Te Maunga from Paihia School. In the first block of school we did a makerspace.  The makerspace was about electricity. We done all sorts of experiments and nearly all of them worked. We were in groups I was with Ayanda, Brisa, Fern, Akira, Ricky - May and Shivarm. We done an active and that was with a lemon, 10sens, nails, LED and alligator clips.

First we got the lemon and cut a little line on every one of the lemon (there were 4 lemons) and we put the ten sent coin in the lemon. The next step was to put a nail right in line of the coin and stuck it in so they didn’t touch. After that we put an alligator clip on each of those coins that we just put in the lemon. The second to last step was to join the alligator clips with the nails and it had to be in a circle. The last step was to connect the LED to two of those clips and then it should make the LED (light bulb) turn on.
