1. Electricity is the flow of tiny particles called electrons.
2. Electrons are part of atoms
3. The word circuit means go around “, therefore a circuit is a path way or
closed path around which electricity (or water) flows.
4. Electrons flowing through a wire can be compared to water flowing through a
hose. Once the flow of electrons or water is going, work is performed. (2 marks)
5. You would get shocked in a bumper car by touching the ceiling and the floor at
the same time. This means you are completing the circuit allowing electricity to
flow. (3 marks)
6. Electricity from a wall outlet has enough energy to stop your heart
7. Electricity is the flow of electrons, because electrons move or jump from atom to
atom. (2 marks)
8. Materials that allow electrons to move easily from atom to atom are called
conductors
9. Materials that do not allow electrons to flow easily are called insulators.
10. Semi conductors are materials that are somewhere in between.
11. Voltage is the force or pressure of electricity and is compared to the amount of
water pressure in a hose.
12. Current (amps) is the amount of electricity and is compared to the amount of
water in a hose.
13. Watts (power) is the term for work performed by electricity.
