Circuits

Anika, Michael, and Aria are playing with a science kit. They come across a term they don't understand. Can you help them figure out what a 'circuit' is?

• A closed loop of wires

• A type of battery

• A type of load

• A line of wires

Imagine Avery, Hannah, and Henry are on a mission to Mars! They need to set up the simplest circuit to power their spaceship. What would that be?

• A light and a switch

• A battery and switch

• A light bulb and a battery

• A switch, a light bulb, and a battery

Imagine Abigail, Aiden, and Anika are experimenting with a circuit and a light bulb. What would happen if they open the circuit?

• The light bulb dims

• The circuit can do nothing

• The light bulb turns off

• The light bulb suddenly turns on

Imagine Abigail, William, and Michael are playing with a circuit and a light bulb. What happens when they close the circuit?

• The light bulb brightens like a mini sun

• The light bulb decides to take a nap and turns off

• The circuit decides to be stubborn and does nothing

• The light bulb turns on and starts a light show

Imagine Daniel, Benjamin, and Zoe are building a circuit for their science project. What role does the battery play in their circuit?

• It takes electricity away from the circuit

• It acts as the power source

• It doesn't do anything

• It controls whether the circuit is open or closed

Samuel, Oliver, and Mia are building a circuit for their science project. They are wondering what could be a load in their circuit. Can you help them out? (Circle all that apply)
