2. WHAT IS AN ELECTRIC CIRCUIT?
An electric circuit is a
closed circuit that works
with electricity. The
power source (battery)
carries the energy throw
the conductor (wire) to
the resistor (bulb).
A switch is used to close or
open the circuit. When it
is closed it works but
when it's open it doesn't
work.

3. What do you need to WIRE
make an electric circuit?
BULB
BATTERY
SWITCH

4. ELECTRIC CIRCUIT SYMBOLS
This is a basic circuit. There is a battery, a
bulb and wires.
To represent electric circuits there are some
standard symbols. They are
very usefull to

5. SYMBOLS
Battery
Wire
Bulb
Switch
open/ This is a closed circuit.
closed We all made electric circuits.
It was very funny and we had a
great time!

7. CONDUCTORS
Conductors are objects that carry electricity.
For example: scissors, pliers, metal spoon,
pencil mines, rings...Metals are good
conductors.

8. INSULATORS
Insulators are materials that don't carry
electric currents. For example: wood,
rubber and plastic are good insulators.

was very fun
