1. Electrical Circuits

2. In this activity you will: In this activity you will learn about two types of circuits. You will write a paragraph comparing and contrasting circuits.

3. Electric Currents An electric current is a flow of electric charges.

4. A circuit is the path that is made for an electric current.

5. Series Circuit A circuit that only has one path for current to flow through is called a series circuit.

6. If the path is broken, no current flows through the circuit.

7. Parallel Circuits A type of circuit that has more than one path for current is called a parallel circuit.

8. If one part of the path is removed, the current continues to flow through the other paths of the circuit.

9. Writing Activity Write a compare and contrast paragraph using the information found in this presentation.
