This practical allows children to create a simple electrical circuit using adhesive copper tape, a battery and a coloured LED. When placed in a school-made greetings card, the LED will light up adding sparkle.

In this issue we outline support from CLEAPSS for the new Science programme of study at key stages 1 & 2 and an engaging textiles printing project for D&T. There's also ideas for linking primary science and computing technology and teaching circuts using conductive copper tape.

An electricity practical activity that give circuits a real life context.

Information about the different types of magnets and their safety measures, together with activities that demonstrate the properties of magnetism and information on the everyday use of magnets.
