Let there be Light Mr. Albu and Mr. Cobb
Key Question • Using only the materials provided, how can you make a complete electrical circuit that will light a bulb?” SB
Explanation • “How were you able to make the light bulb light up?” • “Do you know why the light bulb lit up in that particular arrangement?” • “Why does the light bulb need to touch the battery and the wires at the same time in order to light up?” • “Where on the battery did the light bulb have to touch in order to light up?” SB
Materials • So we were able to see from testing our circuits that the wire was good at allowing the energy to easily flow through the system. Can anyone tell me what a good word to describe the wire would be? • However there are some materials that inhibit the flow of energy and are not good conductors. What are some examples? • Now if a conductor is something that allows energy to flow easily, what is the opposite of that? SB
