What is Rubber Gloves
400
In a parallel circuit, if one bulb is removed, the other stays lit. Explain why
In a parallel circuit there is more than one pathway for electrical current to flow through
500

What is A Positive Charge
500
Give one example of static electricity and one example of current electricity
Answers may vary:
Static - balloon causing hair to rise, shock from touching metal
Current - Wiring in a house, Powering a device
500
Draw an electrical circuit that includes the 4 main parts
500

FINAL JEOPARDY!! (ALL Teams Wager and Participate)
-Decide as a team how much you will wager
Example: Wager 2500, if you are correct you gain those points, if wrong, you would lose 2500
