Presentation Transcript

  1. Electricity Shocking!

  2. What is Electricity? • Atoms • Made up of 3 small particles • P.E.N. • Proton • Electron • Neutron

  3. Electricity • The flow of electrons.

  4. Rules of Attraction • Opposites attract • Likes repel

  5. What is Charge? • Example of electric charge • Balloon on someone’s head • Feet on carpet • Object becomes charged negatively and causes a discharge (shock)

  6. Circuits • What is a circuit? • A closed path through which electricity flows. • 3 parts • Power Source (Battery) • Wire • Load (the thing you are powering)

  7. Conductors vs. Insulators • Conductor or insulator? You decide • Balloon? • Pen top? • Jumbo Paper Clip? • Shell? • Wooden stick? • Nail? • Clipy Thingy?

  8. Conductors vs. Insulators • Conductor • Allows electricity to move through it easily. • Insulator • Does not allow electricity to move through it easily

  9. Circuits • Open • Closed

  10. On the Quiz • Draw open and closed circuits. • 3 things in an atom, what their charges are, and where they are located. • Laws of attraction • Types of Energy (Tree and Umbrella) • L of C of E • Energy Transformations
