Hello! Olive Stein here. I've just been visiting my team at Portal Press Publishing and they agreed it is time to release a brand new 'Book of Wonders' - the world is ready for it. We have lined up an experts to write the book and I'm so excited that Professor Crankpot, scientist and inventor has agreed to come on board!
Ah, yes! Professor Crankpot here. I have heard you are amazing publishers and you will be able to help bring this 'Book of Wonder' all about electricity, to life for Olive. I'm sure it'll be a, how you say, smash! Eureka!

SCIENCE
National Curriculum:
Electricity
identify common appliances that run on electricity
construct a simple series electrical circuit, identifying and naming its basic parts, including cells, wires, bulbs, switches and buzzers
identify whether or not a lamp will light in a simple series circuit, based on whether or not the lamp is part of a complete loop with a battery recognise that a switch opens and closes a circuit and associate this with whether or not a lamp lights in a simple series circuit
recognise some common conductors and insulators, and associate metals with being good conductors
debate/discussions about sources, giving instructions
WOW! Wonder Launch
How can we get the bulb to light up?
Give children a bulb, two wires and a cell. Challenge them in groups to see if they can get the bulb to light up.

Testing conductors and insulators
What are the basic parts of a simple series circuit?The basic parts of a simple series circuit are cells (batteries), wires, bulbs, switches, and buzzers.
What does a switch do in a circuit? A switch opens and closes a circuit, controlling whether or not the lamp or other components light up or work.
What are conductors and insulators, and which material is a good conductor?Conductors allow electricity to flow through them, while insulators do not. Metals, like copper, are good conductors.
Circuit – A path through which electricity flows.
Cell – A power source (like a battery) that provides energy to a circuit.
Switch – A device that opens or closes a circuit to stop or start the flow of electricity.
Conductor – A material that electricity can pass through easily, like metal
.Insulator – A material that does not let electricity pass through, like plastic or rubber.
