1. Batteries, Bulbs, and Wires!
5th Grade Electricity Lesson
SC.5.P.11.1: Investigate and illustrate the fact that the flow of electricity requires a closed circuit (a complete loop).
SC.5.P.11.2: Identify and classify materials that conduct electricity and materials that do not.

2. Batteries, Bulbs, and Wires

3. Thinking about Kirsten’s question…
How can you make the bulb light?
Use your knowledge of electrical circuits to light the bulb in 2 minutes or less!

4. FLIP YOUR DOTS!! Learning Goals:
Students will determine that the flow of electricity requires a closed circuit.
Students will identify and/or classify materials that conduct electricity and materials that do not.
FLIP YOUR DOTS!!

5. Name the parts of the
SIMPLE CIRCIUT!

6. Current Electrons flow from the power source in a looping path.
This electrical flow of charges is the current.
In order for there to be an electrical flow, a circuit must be closed.
