200
This is the component added to a simple circuit to increase the brightness of a light bulb.
What is a D-Cell? (Some people refer to it as a battery.)
200
This is the form of energy in lightning.
What is electrical energy?
200
Draw a series circuit with a D-Cell, bulb and wires.
Your circuit should be closed and one circular shape.
300

Plastic or copper is a good conductor of electricity.
What is copper?
300
This represents an invisible force around a magnet.
What is a magnetic field?
300
Draw a parallel circuit with a D-Cell, a bulb, a motor, and wires.
Your circuit should contain 2 or more circular shapes with all of the components above.

400
A cork or paper clip is a sample of a conductor of electricity for a circuit tester.
What is a paper clip?
400
This method was used to present data on paper when we investigated the strength of the attraction between two magnets.
What is a chart and graph?

What is more?
500
In a circuit with a D-cell, bulb, wires and a motor, this would be categorized as a conductor.
What are wires?
500
This circuit has two or more pathways where electricity flows.
