100

This is the flow of electric charges that moves in an unbroken loop.

What is an electric current?

100

These are materials through which an electric current can pass.

What are conductors?

100
Early scientists most likely saw a discharge of electricity for the first time while observing this.
What is a lightning storm?
100

The unit of measure for voltage and what is the tool you use to measure it?

What is volt and voltmeter

100
In this type of circuit, electricity has only one path to follow.
What is a series circuit?
200
This is the pathway taken by an electric current.
What is a circuit?
200
These are materials through which an electric current CANNOT pass.
What are insulators?
200

Associated with how high an object is off the ground

What is Gravitational Potential energy

200

The measure for the current and the tool used to measure.

What is ampere, annemeter

200
In this type of circuit, electricity has more than one path to follow.
What is a parallel circuit?
300
This type of circuit is a complete circuit where everything is connected and electricity can easily flow through it.
What is a closed circuit?
300
These are examples of conductors. (Hint: think of the experiment we did in class!)
What are nails, paperclips, and aluminum foil? (Anything metal!)
300

What type of energy is it when there is a difference between the positive and negative charges in two objects?

What is Electrical potential energy

300

The unit to measure resistance 

What is an ohm

300
This is a material that cuts down the flow of current, but does not stop it.
What is a resistor?
400
This type of circuit is an incomplete circuit where there is some part that is not connected and electricity cannot flow through it.
What is an open circuit?
400
These are some examples of insulators.
What are plastic, wood, and rubber? (There are many other examples!)
400

What type of potential energy happens when something is stretched?

Elastic potential energy

400
Give an example of kinetic and potential energy

What is ..... answers will vary.

400

These are the basic materials needed to make a complete circuit.

What are a power source (battery or outlet), wires, and a light bulb?

500
This is a device that is used to open and close a circuit easily without connecting and disconnecting the wires.
What is a switch?
500
This is the name of the crackle you hear and feel when you touch a doorknob after rubbing your feet across a carpet.
What is static electricity?
500

What type of potential energy has to do with the atoms inside and the changes that are made in a substance?

What is Chemical Potential Energy

500

The law that states that energy can not be created or destroyed?

What is the conservation of charges?

500
This person invented the light bulb.
Who is Thomas Edison?
