Electricity and Magnetism

Electricity and Magnetism On your own do your best to complete Flow of Electricity worksheet Assign Getters, Reporters, Coaches, and Recorder for each group of 4 Choose a number 1 – 4 Recorder – 1,Getters – 2, Reporters – 3, Coaches - 4 Share your answer with a partner, be ready to share what your partner said

Electricity and Magnetism Getters get 2 light bulbs This is the light bulb we will use. It is the kind of light bulb you might find in a flashlight. Let’s start by observing it for a minute. Create a circle map of your observations. Recorder write down group results Reporter choose 2 to share with class

Electricity and Magnetism Getters get 2 D-cells and 4 wires Can you use a battery to turn on the light bulb? In Pairs try and light the bulb with just the light bulb and battery Show me how you tried

Electricity and Magnetism Where did you connect the wires to the battery? Where did you connect the wires to the light bulb? What happens when you touch the wire to the glass part of the bulb?

Electricity and Magnetism What shape does a circuit look like? What components are needed to make a circuit? Add thoughts to The Flow of Electricity worksheet

Electricity and Magnetism Getters – 2 light bulbs, 2 wires, 2 d-cell batteries Can you light a light bulb with just one wire and a battery? Raise your hand if you are successful Draw a picture of your circuit and include arrows showing the “flow” of electricity through the circuit Hint: Negative is location of extra electrons, Positive is lacking electrons If electrons behaved like water which way would it flow?

Electricity and Magnetism Electricity Receiver Anything that uses electricity to do something is an electricity receiver. The light bulb produces light when it received electricity as it flows through he whole circuit.

Electricity and Magnetism Draw Bulbs and Batteries Trace the flow using Circuit and Components What general shape am I tracing

Electricity and Magnetism Study the Filament The part of the bulb that makes light is the filament. When electricity goes through the filament, it gets so hot it gives off light.

Electricity and Magnetism Getters return equipment You can’t see electricity. How do you know when it is flowing in a bulb circuit? How did you get the bulb to light with only one wire?
