Voltage is the energy of electrons. It is measured by a voltmeter and is measured in volts! Current is the flow (number) of electrons. It is measured in Amps. The component used to measure the current is called an ammeter!

START FINISH KEY = Person holding their egg = Person without their egg = egg

Key: = rocket with equipment inside. = Rocket without equipment. = earth = Mars = Saturn

Series circuit: My series circuit is about an egg and spoon race. The people (electrons) pick up an egg (energy) and travel to the finish line. At this point they leave there eggs and travel back to the start to get another egg and try again. The start is the battery or cell and the finish is the component. The pink circles are the people and the blue circles are the eggs. The electrons use up there energy by giving it to the component so that it can work it goes back to the start to pick up more energy. They only travel in one direction. The arrows show which way that is. The current stays the same. (how many players) but the voltage changes. (eggs) Parallel circuit: My parallel circuit is about rockets going from earth to take equipment to different planets to find out information. Earth is the battery or cell. Mars and Jupiter are the components. The rockets are the electrons and the equipment inside are the energy. The rockets drop off the equipment on the planet and have to travel back to earth to pick up more. ( Like the energy being used to make the component work.) Some of the rockets travel to different planets to take equipment. The arrows show which way the rockets travel because they can only travel one way. The current stays the same. ( how many rockets) but the voltage changes. (amount of equipment)
