Kavi Flips Through the Lab Notebook

Kavi opens the lab notebook 📒 packed with this term's investigations. "What a term!" hoots Kavi. We followed one breath from the nose and windpipe into the lungs, watched oxygen slip into the blood, and felt the heart pump it everywhere 🫁❤️. We lit a bulb brighter by adding cells to a series circuit 💡, floated up to find the air is a mix of gases — mostly nitrogen 🌬️ — and grew fuzzy mould and learned it is a living microorganism 🦠. And every single time, we ran a fair test: change just one thing, keep the rest the same, and read the pattern in the data 🔬. "Let's connect every big idea," says Kavi, "and then take the checkpoint together!"

What your child will learn

1This term's big ideasHere's what we investigated this term. Tap each one to connect it back together.
2Brighter or dimmer?In a series circuit there is one loop and one path. More cells give a bigger push; more bulbs share the push. Tap the right box!
3Lungs or heart?Two organs work as a team to get oxygen from the air to every part of you. Tap each card to compare their jobs.
4What do you remember?Use everything you learned this term to predict. Then tap to check! Tap Next test for more.

A peek inside

Kavi joins a bulb and one cell in a single loop — it glows softly. Then she clips in a second cell. What happens to the bulb, and why?
In a series circuit the cells push the current the same way round one loop. Two cells push harder than one, so more electricity flows through the bulb.

Try this at home: What happens to a bulb when you add more cells to a series circuit?
