Using Animation-ish we created our own simple circuit. What is a simple circuit? you ask, well, read on and I will tell you.
First you will need some materials to build your circuit: D-cell (battery), wires, and something to turn on (fan, lightbulb, or a motor). How you construct your circuit is very important. First you need to connect one end of the wire to the negative side of the D-cell, the other end of that wire needs to connect to the side of the lightbulb. Take an additional wire and connect it to the bottom of the lightbulb while the other side connects to the positive side of the D-cell. Electrcity will flow through the wires causing the lightbulb to turn on. It runs from the negative to the positive. Once electricity is flowing the light will stay on.
I really enjoyed learning about electrcity and a simple circuit.
These are the words that I learned in relation to circuits.
This is a mentor post for 4th grade students.
