We are the 5th grade students of Lappa Primary School, in the prefecture of Achaia. Our class consists of 7 girls and 6 boys. Our teacher is Ekaterini Economou. The name of our team is: “Amazing at Experiments”, because we really like Physics and we are very good at experiments.
We chose to build a lighthouse, because we live near the sea. The lighthouse helps ships not to hit the shore. We really liked the chapter on Electricity and we wanted to illuminate something that exists near the sea and is useful. What could be better than a lighthouse? Besides, in the Skills Labs we deal with “illuminated paths” of scientists. That is why we also built our own “illuminated paths”.
We thought that one light bulb is not enough, because if it goes out, the lighthouse will go out too. This would be very dangerous for the boats. So we decided to use 2 lights. Then we asked ourselves: how should we connect the 2 lights so that if one light goes out, the other one stays on? If you want to know too, watch our video…
