What is Ms. Janet's favorite food?
What is electricity made out of?
Electrons
Renewable energy is made up of...
Natural Resources like water, wind, sunlight and wind!
True or False: A series circuit is made up of only one complete loop (path)
True!
True or False: A Parallel circuit has more than one loop/path?
True!
Chicago
What are 2 of the 6 forms of energy we talked about?
Electrical, Nuclear, Mechanical, Chemical, Thermal/Heat, Light
Non-renewable energy is made up of...
Natural Resources like rocks, metals and fossil fuels
True or False: The same amount of power (voltage) is distributed throughout a series circuit?
False! A series circuit can have multiple loads (bulbs) that power has to go through, so when it reaches other loads they get only a part/fraction of the power
Which kind of circuit, (parallel or series circuit) be best for building a school?
Parallel because each classroom will receive the same voltage and whether their lights work/are turned on will not affect other classrooms
What sport does Ms. Valentina play?
Softball
What are the 4 components in an electrical circuit?
Load, Power Source, Conductors, Switch
True or False: Non-renewable energy can be restored quickly
False! Non-renewable energy takes up to 50-100 years to restore!
If one bulb goes out in a series circuit, the rest will...
Also go out! Bulbs are either ALL on or ALL off
Is a streetlight powered through a series or parallel circuit?
Parallel
What is Ms. Yailani's favorite color?
Orange
Energy CAN'T...
Be created or destroyed, it can only be transferred or converted
Why is it better to use solar energy instead of coal?
Solar energy produces little to no waste products and is renewable while fossil fuels cause pollution and damage the environment
What happens when we add MORE lightbulbs to a series circuit?
The light becomes dimmer because power (voltage) is shared between them. So there is less power for each.
If you add more light bulbs to a parallel circuit, how does their brightness change?
Where is Ms. Valentina from?
New York
What is the definition of energy?
The ability to do work or cause change
Yes! Natural resources can be used up and it's a long (50-100 year) wait for there to be more of the natural resources!
If you increase the number of batteries in a series circuit, what happens to the energy?
More electrical energy
What happens if one bulb breaks in a parallel circuit?
The other bulbs will continue to light up because the circuit for them is still closed
