What are atoms?
100
a material that allows electrons to move through it
What is a conductor?
100
This subatomic (super small!) particle flows through the wire when an electric field is present.
What is an electron
100
What is the thing that closes and opens the current in a circuit.

100
The path through which electrons flow
What is a circuit?
200
These neutral particles are in the center of an atom.
What is neutron?
200
a material that does not allow electrons to flow through it
What is an insulator?
200
this is a path in which electric charges can flow.
What is an circuit.
200
a circuit in which electrons have only one path to follow
What is a series circuit?
200
two types of circuits we have build in class
What are series and parallel circuits?

500
this material is an extremely good insulator
What is rubber?
500
This subatomic particle flows easily in a circuit.
What is electron
500
This is a circuit where there is more than one close path for a current to follow.
What is parallel
500
This is a measure of the amount of electrical energy transferred by an electric charge as it moves from one point to another in a circuit.
What is voltage
