ELECTRICITY

SCIENCE
INDICATOR I
BOSTON INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL
THIRD TERM , 2017
OBJECTIVE
Understand how energy works differing its kinds of sources
to identify their uses.

Learning Objective: Describe how electricity works

explaining its kinds and devices that influences in it and
how it can be produced by different kinds of energy
transformations.
BIBLICAL PRINCIPLE

Jesus is the light of the world

John 8:12

12 When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, I am

the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk
in darkness, but will have the light of life.
PROJECT
STATIC ELECTRICITY Students will use an balloon, a sock
a hair comb and rushed little papers. After this, they will
describe the way in which static electricity happened.
Due date: August 1st
ELECTRICITY IS THE ENERGY CAUSED
BY THE FLOW OF ELECTRONS.
Charge and Static Electricity

Static Electricity : A
BUILD UP OF CHARGE
(electrons) on an object!
 Rubbing hair
with balloon

1. Friction: build up of charge by rubbing one

object against another.

STATIC ELECTRICITY BY
FRICTION AND
CONDUCTION
Conduction: build up of charge by direct
contact between 2 objects
 CURRENT ELECTRICITY

Current is a flow of electric charges. It is not a build up of charge

that is discharged.

All current electricity needs a circuit (a close pathway for electric

charges to flow).

All circuits must have at least 3 parts :

1) wires, 2) a source 3) a load(s).
 PARTS OF A CIRCUIT

wires Source of electricity

Load
CONDUCTORS
Conductor: a material that easily allows the flow
of electric charges.
It gives very little resistance to the flow of charge.
( metals copper, aluminum , etc)
INSULATORS
Insulators: do not easily allow for the flow of
electric charges through them.
Ex: glass, plastic, certain rubber materials, cloth.
 TYPES OF CIRCUITS

MAIN TYPES OF CIRCUITS

1. Series Circuit: only 1 path for the electric

charges to flow
2. Parallel Circuit: has More than one path for the
electric charges to flow.
Series circuit
Parallel Circuit: has more
than 1 path for electric
charges to flow, so if 1 load
goes out, the other loads
will still work !
DRAW A PARALLEL CIRCUIT
SWITCHES
A switch is a device that opens or closes a circuit.
When you switch on a lamp, you close the circuit.
When you switch off a lamp, you open the circuit.
