READ the following statement CAREFULLY: If your desk light is plugged to the wall, but it will not produce light, what is most likely the cause of the problem? (SC.5.P.11.1)

Most likely the cause is that the switch is off (or in the down position)

Most likely the cause is that the switch is on (or in the up position)

READ the following statement CAREFULLY: Explain what happens to the electrons in the electrical circuit when the teacher “turns off” the lights in your classroom (SC.5.P.11.1)

When the lights switch is “turned on” the switch is actually CLOSING the circuit so that electrons can flow through the wires, creating electricity and turning the lights on.

When the teacher turns off the lights, she/he is actually CLOSING the circuit so that no electrons can flow through it.

When the lights switch is “turned on” the switch is actually OPENING the circuit so that electrons can flow through the wires, creating electricity and turning the lights on.
