Vocabulary 4.0
a material through which electric current does not easily flow
Insulator
an electric circuit in which the current flows through more than one path.
Parallel Circuit
is a device that makes a buzzing or beeping noise
Buzzer
If its OPEN...
Its BROKEN!
What is the main color that absorbs light?
BLACK
Radiant energy that our eyes can see
Light Energy
an electrical circuit in which the current flows through an uninterrupted path.
Closed or Complete Circuit
light that is taken in and trapped by matter
Absorb
Shinny surfaces, mirrors, tinted windows, and smooth surfaces
energy waves that bend (change direction and speed) as they pass from one type of object to another
Refraction
is a pathway through which electrical current flow.
Electrical Circuit
a closed circuit with only one path for electrons to travel on
Series circuit
a transparent, three-dimensional shape used to separate white light into the color spectrum
Prism
If its CLOSED.....
It FLOWS!!!
the passing of light through a material without being absorbed
Transmit
is a material that allows the flow of electricity
Conductor
an electrical circuit in which the current flow is interrupted by a broken wire or an open switch.
Open or Incomplete Circuit
carry the electric current to various parts of an electrical circuit
Wires
a device for making and breaking the connection in an electric circuit
Switch
Energy waves bouncing off the surface of an object (Mirrors or echoes return energy back to the source.)
Reflection
is a container storing chemical energy to be converted into electrical energy
Battery
