AAP Electricity and Magnetism

Imagine Zoe and William are having a friendly competition to see who can make the light bulb glow the longest! If Zoe changes the switch from closed to open, what will happen to the light bulb?

• It starts glowing

• It stops glowing

• The light gets dimmer

• The light gets brighter.

Isla, Michael, and Aiden are building a cool science project! They pick up a wooden craft stick and wonder: Is it a conductor, an insulator, a circuit, or an energy source?

• conductor

• insulator

• circuit

• energy source

Grace, William, and Zoe are testing different objects to see which ones can conduct electricity. Which of these materials is NOT an electrical conductor?

• paper clip

• penny

• plastic DVD case

• staple

Evelyn, Oliver, and Benjamin are doing a science experiment to find out which objects can conduct electricity. Which two objects should they choose to test their circuit?

• pencil and eraser

• desk and chair

• steel nail and metal coin

• glass marble and paper envelope

Luna, Aria, and Anika are building a cool circuit for their science project. Why do they need to strip the plastic coating off of the copper wire before connecting it?

• To make a better fit

• So that the electrical current can pass through the wire and other parts of the circuit.

• The copper wire is too thick to use in the circuit

• To prevent the circuit from becoming overloaded

Melissa, Zoe, and Ethan are excited to build a glowing light circuit! Melissa grabs a light bulb and a battery, but something is missing. What extra item do they need to make their circuit shine?

• switch

• wire

• insulator

• conductor

Daniel, Hannah, and Ava are building a simple circuit for their science project. Which type of circuit uses just one wire to connect all the parts together?

• paralllel

• open circuit

• series

• closed circuit

What is required for electricity to flow?

• An open circuit

• A series circuit

• A parallel circuit

• A closed circuit

What happens if a bulb in a series circuit goes out?

• The remaining bulbs shine brighter

• All bulbs go out

• Electricity flow increases

• Only that bulb goes out

How are bulbs arranged in a parallel circuit?

• In a single line

• In a closed loop

• Parallel to each other

• In alternating current
