Electrons are flowing through a wire (this is the electricity we use every day!)

• Static Electricty

• Conductor

• Insulator

• Electrical Current

A material that allows electrons (and electricity) to flow through it easily.

• Series Circuit

• Insulator

• Conductor

• Parallel Circuit

A material that likes to hold on to its electrons and DOES NOT allow electricity to flow through it easily.

• Series Circuit

• Insulator

• Conductor

• Parallel Circuit

A circuit without any breaks/gaps. Electricity can flow all the way around so the light works!

• Closed Circuit

• Parallel Circuit

• Open Circuit

• Series Circuit

A circuit with a break/gap. Electricity CAN NOT flow so the light DOES NOT work.

• Closed Circuit

• Parallel Circuit

• Series Circuit

• Open Circuit

A circuit with everything connected in one loop so there's only one path for electricity to travel (*if one part breaks, the whole things stops working!)

• Open Circuit

• Closed Circuit

• Series Circuit

• Parallel Circuit

The flow of electrons used as a form of energy.

• Electricity

• Electronamy

• Flowicity

• Energizing
