Today everything comes together. You'll plan and run your own fair test — using a foil ribbon as a wire — to find out what changes how a circuit works. This is an assessed investigation.
Before we plan, let's bring back the three jobs of a variable from Lesson 1.
Watch how I turn a curiosity into a testable question with clear variables.
| Role | In this investigation |
|---|---|
| CHANGE | the length of the foil ribbon (e.g. 10 cm vs 30 cm) |
| MEASURE | how brightly the globe glows (rate 0–3) |
| KEEP THE SAME | same cell, same globe, same foil width & thickness |
Let's plan one together on the board, then you'll do your own.
Now it's your investigation. Plan it, get it approved, then test.
Share your result to finish.
