What is ELECTRICITY?

• The flow of the sun's energy.

• The flow of positive charges (protons)

• The flow of negative charges (electrons)

• The flow of energy from lightbulbs

What happens when you have an OPEN circuit?

• You have a complete path and the lightbulb will work.

• You have a break in the path and the lightbulb will not work.

• You have only one path and the lightbulb will work.

• You have more than one path and the lightbulb will not work.

What is a CLOSED circuit?

• A complete path for the electrons to flow

• A break in the path for the electrons

• Many paths for the electrons

• Something that will turn on and off the electricity

Why do we use switches in a circuit?

• Because they're cool

• So we can change the direction of the electrons

• It makes the current stronger

• It opens and closes the circuit

What is the purpose of a battery in a circuit?

• It turns the electricity on and off

• It is the power source

• It opens the circuit

• It is an insulator

What kind of circuit is this?

• simple circuit

• series circuit

• parallel circuit

• open circuit

What kind of circuit is this?

• simple circuit

• parallel circuit

• series circuit

• switch circuit

What kind of circuit is this?

• parallel circuit

• series circuit

• simple circuit

• wire circuit

Why won't this circuit work?

• There isn't any battery.

• It needs another lightbulb.

• It has a break in the path

• It needs a switch
