# Year 4 Investigating Circuits

  ![Image of Year 4 Investigating Circuits](https://files.schudio.com/st-bridget-s-catholic-primary-school/images/blog/IMG_2602.jpeg)  2 May 2025   [Miss Conlin](https://st-bridgets-pri.cumbria.sch.uk/blog/author/hconlin)   [Year 4](https://st-bridgets-pri.cumbria.sch.uk/blog/category/year-4)

Continuing our Electricity topic, today we learned about different electrical components in a simple series circuit. In teams of 3, we independently planned out what components we would need to power a circuit. We then built our circuits and used switches to turn the bulbs on and off. We showed brilliant resilience, team work and problem solving skills!
