Spring Term 1 Report

Thank you all for attending the first Invent It course! I hope the children all enjoyed themselves ... and hopefully learnt a bit too!

Below is the outline of what we covered this term. I promised I would share some of the resources as they were quite keen to spend some time at home exploring some more of these topics:

All) classes started with paper Airplanes/ Airplanes

1) Computers / Digital name badge

2) Electricity and Switches / Steady Hand Tester / What is electricity/ 

3) Ohms Law and Resistors / Microbit reading an input signal / Basic Circuit Demo

4) Sound and Waves  / Microbit tone generator/ Longitudinal and Transverse Waves / Spectrum Analyser/ Oscilloscope

5) Hearing limits / Microbit sound meter / How old are your ears/ Hearing Test Online

We have used the BBC Microbit for a few of the practical sessions and this has been an excellent resource that we will continue to use. These can loaned from the library for 2 week periods for use at home - they have about 8 at Charlton Kings library. The platform is very easy to use and there are lots of ideas on the website to try. A great February half term activity!
