Vocabulary: conductor, insulator, battery, wires, light bulb, switch, breadboarding, basic circuit, series circuit, parallel circuit, open circuit, closed circuit
Study the Quizlet
Procedure:
- 1. Pass out supplies
- 2. Prepare bulb: Carefully twist and pull off the cut section of plastic insulation from each wire lead. Take the wires on each side of the bulb and gently twist the thin strands together to give it a “rope” like appearance. Repeat on the other side. Be careful not to poke your fingers with the wire strands.
- 3. Get your battery. Look at your battery and bulb/socket/wire. Which parts are conductors and which are insulators? Can you make the bulb light with just these two parts?
- 4. Build a basic circuit activity (we'll do this together) (see written directions below)
