We tested objects in a circuit to see if they conducted electricity. If the bulb lit up the material was a conductor. We talked about how materials that are insulators are very important to keep us… [Continue reading](https://st-bartholomews.leeds.sch.uk/blog/2025-11-20-02-44-year-4-class-11-science-conductors-and-insulators) [![Image of Year 4 (Class 10) - Science - Conductors or Insulators](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/imagecache/720x440c/gallery/year-4-class-10-science-conductors-or-insulators/thumbnail_IMG_0300.jpg)](https://st-bartholomews.leeds.sch.uk/blog/2025-11-19-12-44-year-4-class-10-science-conductors-or-insulators) 19 November 2025 #### [Year 4 (Class 10) - Science - Conductors or Insulators](https://st-bartholomews.leeds.sch.uk/blog/2025-11-19-12-44-year-4-class-10-science-conductors-or-insulators) Well done to class 10 who tested different objects to find out if they were conductors or insulators.

We measured difference items in kg and newtons and studied the difference between gravitation pull and mass.

We looked for different natural and man-made rocks and their uses. We discussed why uses of types of rocks may have changed over time looking at things like industry, new inventions and cost.

We made the circuits using light bulbs, wires and batteries and then explained why they did or did not light up.

We used starburst to show how the rock cycle works by turning sediments into bigger rocks using heat and pressure. We then identified different rocks using a key. Finally, we studied a single rock and observed its properties. We looked at… [Continue reading](https://st-bartholomews.leeds.sch.uk/blog/2025-11-07-10-26-year-3-class-8-science-the-rock-cycle) [![Image of Year 4 (Class 11) - Science - Circuits and Electricity](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/imagecache/720x440c/gallery/year-4-class-11-science-circuits-and-electricity/thumbnail_image3.jpg)](https://st-bartholomews.leeds.sch.uk/blog/2025-11-07-09-59-year-4-class-11-science-circuits-and-electricity) 7 November 2025 #### [Year 4 (Class 11) - Science - Circuits and Electricity](https://st-bartholomews.leeds.sch.uk/blog/2025-11-07-09-59-year-4-class-11-science-circuits-and-electricity) Today we started our new topic in science. We are learning about electricity. We looked at what electricity is, new vocabulary and symbols used to draw circuits. We then played a game in pairs where we had to build our own circuits.
