Electric Energy
Activity #1

2. K W L How does electricity get stored in light bulbs?
We use electricity in different ways
Electricity travels through circuits and always ends up in the ground.
Electricity creates light.
Conductors are things that allow electricity to flow.
Measured by volts
Switches allow electricity to flow.
How does electricity get stored in light bulbs?
How do circuits travel?
How does electricity move through a body?
Where does electricity come from?

3. Goals
Review and describe basic electric circuits and their components (series and parallel).
Create an electric circuit diagram and then construct the actual circuit depicted in the diagram.
Make qualitative observations regarding the behavior of circuits.

4. Essential Question WD
How does electrical energy move from one point to another?

5. Main Ideas WD
All circuits are designed to deliver energy to electrical devices (light bulbs, electric motors, etc...). The performance of these devices depends on how many are included in the circuit and how they are connected.

6. Vocabulary WD
Conductor: A material that allows electricity to flow through it.
Insulator: A material that resists the flow of electricity.
Circuit: A path through which electricity travels
Charge: Can be negative or positive and carries energy
