Electricity and Magnetism

On your own do your best to complete Flow of Electricity worksheet

Assign Getters, Reporters, Coaches, and Recorder for each group of 4

Choose a number 1 – 4 Recorder – 1,Getters – 2, Reporters – 3,

Coaches - 4 Share your answer with a partner, be

ready to share what your partner said

Electricity and Magnetism

Getters get 2 light bulbs This is the light bulb we will use. It

is the kind of light bulb you might find in a flashlight. Let’s start by observing it for a minute. Create a circle map of your observations.

Recorder write down group results Reporter choose 2 to share with

class

Electricity and Magnetism

Getters get 2 D-cells and 4 wires Can you use a battery to turn on the

light bulb? In Pairs try and light the bulb with

just the light bulb and battery Show me how you tried

Electricity and Magnetism

Where did you connect the wires to the battery?

Where did you connect the wires to the light bulb?

What happens when you touch the wire to the glass part of the bulb?

Electricity and Magnetism

What shape does a circuit look like? What components are needed to

make a circuit?

Add thoughts to The Flow of Electricity worksheet

Electricity and Magnetism

Getters – 2 light bulbs, 2 wires, 2 d-cell batteries

Can you light a light bulb with just one wire and a battery?

Raise your hand if you are successful Draw a picture of your circuit and include

arrows showing the “flow” of electricity through the circuit

Hint: Negative is location of extra electrons, Positive is lacking electrons

If electrons behaved like water which way would it flow?

Electricity and Magnetism

Electricity ReceiverAnything that uses electricity to do

something is an electricity receiver. The light bulb produces light when it received electricity as it flows through he whole circuit.

Electricity and Magnetism

Draw Bulbs and Batteries Trace the flow using Circuit and

Components What general shape am I tracing

Electricity and Magnetism

Study the FilamentThe part of the bulb that makes light

is the filament. When electricity goes through the filament, it gets so hot it gives off light.

Electricity and Magnetism

Getters return equipment You can’t see electricity. How do

you know when it is flowing in a bulb circuit?

How did you get the bulb to light with only one wire?
