Place the following objects into the correct category.

Insulator

conductor

1- All On or All Off
2- Makes one circle
3- More load placed on the circuit the weaker they appear - ex: lights dimmer or fan spins slower

​

Series Circuit

​​Just like we use maps or GPS to find our way

​​Electricians use models to show and represent the parts to a circuit

A device that connects or breaks the path of the flow of electricity.

When it is on, it allows the flow of electricity and loads turn on.

When it is off, it stops the flow of electricity.

​

​Switch

Gather the following materials from your box

We use these symbols to show our set up!

​

​Symbols for electrical circuits!

Hotspot

Which symbol in the circuit diagram below represents a fan?

​Let's Make a Series Circuit with One Load

Draw

Draw a model of your series circuit.

One Circle

Light is Lit


LET'S ADD MORE!!!

​

​Should look like this!

​Add a Switch!

​Should look like this!

Can you use the diagram to create the matching real life circuit?

​

​Build This!

How did you do?

​

​It should look like this!

Create this!

Draw

Multiple Choice

What part of a circuit stops and starts the flow of electric current in a circuit?

• load

• switch

• battery

• wire

Poll

Does anyone know Morse code?

• Yes, I know what it is but haven't tried it

• Yes, I have used it before

• No, I do not know what that is

If interested, check out Morse Code!

You can use your lightbulb to talk!

Tomorrow Parallel Circuits!

​We are on a ROLL!!!!

Tomorrow Parallel Circuits!!!

You will need even more supplies from your green box tomorrow!
