100
This type of circuit only allows electricity to pass through one path
What is series circuit?
100
This part 'slows down' the current and lets only a certain amount pass
What is a resistor?
100
A circular path which is required to get electricity to flow and do something useful
What is a circuit?
100
What is the tool used to solder? It can get up to 300 degrees celsius.
What is a soldering iron?
100
This natural phenomenon, caused by refraction, has 7 different colours
What is a rainbow?
200
This type of circuit allows electricity through more than one path
What is parallel circuits
200
This supplies to power to a circuit - composed of many cells
What is a battery?
200
Flow of electrons
What is a current?

200
This type of elephant has the biggest ears out of all elephants
What is an African elephant?
300
When a circuit not fully completed, it is this type of circuit
What is an open circuit?
300
This specific type of diode emits light, hence its name
What is an LED?

What should always be on your eyes when soldering?
What are goggles?
300
This man is responsible for inventing the lightbulb as well as many other things
Who is Thomas Edison?
400
This allows less electricity to pass in a circuit - causes series circuits to have less current than parallel with same amount of power
What is resistance
400
This type of resistor can vary its resistance.
What is a potentiometer?
400
Anything that uses electricity
What is a load?

What was the first project that we did - you hold it and wave your device around
What is a Blinky POV?
400
This scientist is responsible for coming up with the famous equation, E= mc^2
Who is Albert Einstein?
500
This type of circuit can get dangerous because it lets the power source to pass high amount of current
What is short circuit?
500
This special part stores energy and then lets go once there are no more electricity
What is a capacitor?
500
Material that allows electricity to pass (hint: Someone that drives a train)
What is a conductor?
500
What toxic metal is usually associated with soldering?
What is lead?
