1. Energy Transformation in Electrical Circuits
E.Q. - How are the different types of energies transformed in electrical circuits?
An Electrical Circuit:
A source of electricity conducted in a wire.
The WIRE is a conductor and carries an electrical current.
There must be a device that transforms electrical energy. Ex: Light bulb or Radio.

2. Must be connected in a complete path for transformation to occur.
E.Q. - How are the different types of energies transformed in electrical circuits?
Must be connected in a complete path for transformation to occur.
A Switch controls the flow of electricity.
Open circuit = electricity will not flow (light is off)
Closed circuit = electricity will flow (light is on)

3. Sources of Electricity in a circuit:
E.Q. - How are the different types of energies transformed in electrical circuits?
Sources of Electricity in a circuit:
Batteries (stored chemical energy)
Solar Cell (light from the sun)
Wall Outlets - this energy comes from generators in power plants. Ex:
Burning fuels (chemical)
Hydroelectric (mechanical )

4. E.Q. - How are the different types of energies transformed in electrical circuits?
Electrical Energy transformed to light, sound, heat & mechanical motion in a circuit.
1. Light:
Electrical  Light in a circuit
Chemical  electrical Light
Light bulb added to circuit
2. Sound:
Electrical  Sound
Door bell, buzzer, radio, TV

5. Toaster, stove, or heater 4. Mechanical Motion:
E.Q. - How are the different types of energies transformed in electrical circuits?
3. Heat:
Electrical  Heat
Toaster, stove, or heater
4. Mechanical Motion:
Electrical  Mechanical Motion
Electric motor
