ELECTRICAL ENERGY
During Term 2 we will explore electrical energy and learn how it can be transferred and transformed in electrical circuits, and can be generated from a range of sources.
Electrical Circuits
Series Circuit

An electric circuit is like a pathway made of wires that electrons can flow through. A battery or other power source gives the force (voltage) that makes the electrons move. When the electrons get to a device like a light bulb, your computer, or a refrigerator, they give it the power to make it work. Parallel Circuit

LIGHT ENERGY
How does light make different colours?
Most objects do no produce light of their own. Instead, we see objects because light from a light source is reflected off them. The colour an object appears as depends on the way it reflects and absorbs light.
