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?
