Energy
What is Solar Power?
The kind of electricity you create when you rub a balloon on your head or rub your feet on a carpet.
What is static electricity?
The type of circuit that only has one path for the electricity to travel.
What is a series circuit?
The kind of material that lets electricity travel through it easily.
What is a conductor?
The name of the building where electricity is generated and then sent to your house through powerlines.
This energy comes from splitting an atom.
What is Nuclear Energy?
The flow of electrons when you plug in a device (electricity moving).
What is current electricity?
What is a load?
The kind of material that does not let electricity travel through it easily.
What is an insulator?
Volts, Ohms, Watts and THIS are all ways to measure electricity.
What are Amps?
Falling/flowing water turns turbines which then sets generators in motion to produce electricity.
What is water/hydroelectric energy?
The type of charge that an electron carries.
What is a negative charge?
The type of circuit that has multiple routes for the electricity to travel across.
What is a parallel circuit?
Glass is an example of this.
What is an insulator.
By plugging in a toaster you are using the power of electricity to create THIS kind of energy.
What is heat energy?

What is a parallel circuit?
The material a wire of made up of inside to help electricity travel through it easily.
What is copper?
What people used for light before electricity.
What are oil lamps, candles or the sun?
When you burn oil with this other fossil fuel, the steam created spins a turbine that is connected to a generator, producing large amounts of electricity.
What is coal?
The reason why your hair stands on end after rubbing a balloon on it (NOT just static electricity)
What is your hair is repelling from the same charge they carry?
The official name for a battery or any other object that provides energy to a circuit.
What is a power source?
The material you should wear on your boots and gloves if you are working with electricity.
What is rubber?
The form of natural electricity that tries to get to the ground as quick as possible.
What is lightning?
