Electrical Investigations in Year 6

In Year 6, we have continued to explore electricity.  We have been investigating three different questions: Does wire length affect the brightness of a bulb in a circuit? Do the amount of components (bulbs/buzzers) affect how they work in a circuit? Does the voltage of a battery affect how the components in a circuit work?
