In this activity you will:
* Learn about electricity as a form of energy.
What is Electric Energy?
* A form of energy where the electrons flow, which carries electric energy from place to place.
How is Electric Energy Produced?
* Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. The electrons have a negative charge and can move freely.
* For example, rubbing two objects together can cause electrons to move from one object to another. This movement of electrons is called ELECTRICITY !
How do electrons move?
* Electrons move in two different ways: They can jump through the air as sparks or they can flow smoothly.
* When electrons flow smoothly, they make an electric current.
What is the difference in conductors and insulators?
* Conductors allow electricity to flow through very easily. Metals and humans are both conductors.
* Insulators do not allow electricity to flow through easily. Rubber, glass, and plastic are all good insulators.
Types of Circuits
* The two types of circuits are called open circuit and closed circuit.
* In order for electric current to flow, the circuit must be CLOSED!
* A switch controls the opening and closing of a circuit. Example: flashlight
Writing Activity
* Write a paragraph about electric energy. Include the following:
* What is electricity?
* How is it produced?
* What are the two types of circuits?
* What are some ways that you use electricity every day?
