ST1-8PW-ST A student describes common forms of energy and explores some characteristics of sound energy.
ST2-9PW-ST A student describes how contact and non-contact forces affect an object’s motion.
ST3-8PW-ST A student explains how energy is transformed from one form to another.
ST3-9PW-ST A student investigates the effects of increasing or decreasing the strength of a specific contact or non-contact force.
‘Electricity’
Years 3-6
Sparks fly in this energetic and action-packed exploration of magnets, electricity and light. Audience members are divided into two teams and play for points in the ‘Electricity Quiz’, under the watchful eye of a zany scorekeeper.
The Electricity Show includes:
– Sparks from a Van de Graaff generator
– Hair raising static electricity
– Static electric flying foil hats
– Plasma ball lighting up a fluorescent tube
– Moving a can with static electricity
– Lasers and optical fibres
