What is a conductor?

•  A material that allows electricity to flow through it.  The circuit is complete. 
• A material that does not allow electricity to flow through.  It stops the flow of electricity.
• A light switch.

The wire that gives off the light in a light bulb.

• fahnestock clip
• support wires
• filament

The form of energy that can produce light, heat, motion, and magnetic force.

• electricity
• water
• grass

Parallel Circuit

• Electricity has more than one way to travel through the circuit.  The light bulb burns the longest.
• Lightbulb burns the brightest in this circuit.
• railroad tracks

NGSS.MS-PS3-4

The circuit that has only one path for electricity to travel around.

• parallel circuit
• series circuit
• no circuit

The act of going around. A system that connects electrical devices so they will operate is?

• skeleton
• mystery box 
• circuit

What holds the filament in a lightbulb?

• glass bulb suport
• support wires
• wire attachment point

Which idea is NOT a trouble-shooting step to find out why the electric circuit is not working?

• Test the wires, are they tightly connected to the fahnestock clips?
• Are the batteries lined up negative to positive?
• Is the lightbulb big enough?

A unit used to measure the electric potential of a battery is called...

• current
• electricity
• volt
