Term 5
Hi Emeralds,
ROAD TRIP USA
This term we will be travelling across the Atlantic Ocean to the United States of America.
It would be great if you could begin to research some facts about America and Native Americans

A good start in your learning about America would be to identify the 50 states.
Download the map - some states have already been labelled for you - then use online maps to help you.
Once you have done that, then download the cards with the state abbreviations - Can you match the abbreviation to the correct state?
You could create a leaflet/ poster or booklet based on the Native American tribes. Click on the image below to download cards providing you with the names of lots of different Native American tribes and telling you which state they originated from.

CIRCUITS
I hope you're buzzing to find out more about electricity!
Activity One
You could start by looking around your home and making a list of the items that are powered by electricity. Next, think about which of these items have been adapted so that they do not need electricity and can be used for a road trip or for a camping trip. For example, we might have lamps in our home to provide light, for a road trip we might use a wind up torch to provide light.
Activity Two
What makes a circuit?
Can you decide which circuits will work and which ones won't?
Click on the BBC Bitesize link for two class clips that will help you. Then click on the image of a circuit for a variety of circuit drawings - which ones will work, which ones won't?
