Electrical circuits!!!!!!







What is an electrical circuit?
What are all of the parts necessary for the circuit to work?
What are a few different types of circuits, and how are they different?

Today you worked with creating circuits! Describe your group's experience. What are some things that happened in your group. What did you learn? What problems did you encounter? What were some really neat things that your group did????!!!

A electrical circuit is a sorce of electrisity. To make a circuit work you'll need a sorce of electrisity,a thing that needs the elelectrisity,wiers,and all of your wiers have to be conected. There is 4 kinds of circuits called simpile circit,simple with a swich, series,and paralel. I learned that ciricit is hard to make.

1.A electric circut is a continues flow of energy.

2.The nessesery parts for the circut to work are wires a power source and somthing for the electricity to go through.

3.A few different tipes of circuts are a simple,simple with a switch a parellel and a series. and how they are different is some depend on eachother and some don't.

My groups experence was fun we made all sorts of circuts.Some things that happend were I was putting the wire on the light and I got a huge shock I even said,"ow." What I learned is that if one battery was croocked it would not work.And it takes like 20 batteries to light a big one.The problomes I encountered were crooced batteries not enough cords.Some really neat things that my group did was light 4 lightbubles and olmost lighting the big lightbublb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

An electric circuit is a continous flow of electricity that has no gaps or openings. There are three things you need to have to get an electric circuit working. 1.A power source. (battery) 2.Conducters for the electricity to pass through. (wires) 3.An item that needs electricity to run. (lightbulb) There are 4 different types of circuits. 1.The simple circuit. The simple curciut is just a plain circuit. 2.A simple circuit with a switch. A simple circuit with a switch is the exact same thing as a simple circuit ecxept it has a switch to turn it off and on. 3. A series circuit. A series circuit is a circuit that has two lightbulbs that depend on each other. 4. A paralell circuit. A paralell circuit is just like a series circuit except that the lightbulbs do not depend on each other.

There were some really cool things my group and I discovered. One of the things we discovered was that if you connect your wires to the battery then rub them both on the bottom of the lightbulb it will make sparks. IN our group we ran into one problem. When we created our first paralell circuit our first lightbulb would light up but not our other one. First we thought there was something wrong with our wires. then we figured out that we didn't have enough power so we added another battery. We learned that you always have to have no gaps in your circuit and you need to have enough power.

A electric curcuit is a continuous flow of eclectricity.

The parts you need for the curcuit to work is some kind of power source.And you need wires.Lastly you need batteries.

Some curcuits are the simple,simple with a switch,parellel,and series.They are different because the simple if you unscrew the one light bulb everything is gone.But in a series curcuit if you unscrew one light bulb all the light bulbs won't go out.

I thought when we had our groups it was kind of hard at first,then it got a little bit easier and a little more fun.Well some things that happenend in our group was that we made a parellel crcuit withe four bulbs and like five batteries.Another thing that happenend in our group was that we all work as a team.It was a pretty cool expierience.
One thing that I learned were that when you only have one light bulb you can't have like six batteries because that is to much power.We encounterd some problems like putting the not right wires on the bulb.And be so crowded.I would like to do that again sometime.

THE END.

An electric circut is flow electric charges through a conductor. The parts necessary are a battery, wire, and a lightblub. You have to connect all the pieces together, which I will talk aout later in this blog. Some circuts are SIMPLE CIRCUT WITH A SWITCH. This circut has one lightbulb, a switch, as you can tell by the name, and wire and a battery. The thing you have to do is you connect everything. Then flip the switch on or off. Another one is called a SIMPLE CIRCUT. This one lets you really start out simple!!!!!
* * * * * * *

What you have to do is you connect everthing. It contains a lightbulb, battery, and wire. You connect all three things. The next circut is a SERIES CIRCUT. This circut can contain 2 or more light bulbs. It also conains
lightblubs, wire, and up to 2 (or more) batteries. For this one you have to connect everthing and all the bulbs will light up.
* * * * * * *
The next one is a PARALLEL CIRCUT. This one contains wire, battery, and 2 lightbulbs. Connect each lightbulb with their own set of wire to the battery. If you unscrew one bulb, the other should stay lit. These circuts are different because they each (most of them) have a different part.
* * * * * *
Today we worked with circuts. We made every circut exept a CIRCUT WITH A SWITCH. This is because we didn't have a switch. The first thing we did was see who could make the SIMPLE CIRCUT first. Whoever got it would get a piece of candy. We got it first. What we did was we usdd the wire and touched it with the battery. The other end of that wire was the lightbulb. Another piece of wire was connected to the the side of the lightbulb. That wire was aso connected to the other side of the battery.
* * * * * *
The the lightbulb lit, but it was dim. We tried more batteries. It worked. Then we tried a huge lightbub. We tried like 15 lightbulbs. It got really hot, but it didn't light. We were really disappointed.
* * * * * * * *
Our group then tried a series. We got it done. Then a parallel. This one was harder. I finally said,"Each lightbulb needs to be connected to two pieces of wire." Miss TeSlaa nodded. We went on.
* * * * * * * *
Then the other grop tried the big one. It didn't work. We got everything exept the switch one and the big lightbulb one.

An electrical circuit is a continues flow of an electrick current. You would need 3 things for it to work. First you would need a conduktor,or should we say like a light bulb. Next you would need wires to coneckt to the conducktor and the battery. Then the last but not least you need powwer wich is from the battery. Just a little tip for you. The batterys must be faceing the right way or the light won't light up. There are many types of circuits but I am going to tell you four different types of circuits. Here is one circuit and it is called simple circuit with a swich. The next one is called simple circuit. The thered one is called parallel circuit. The last one is called series. I would love to tell you more but maybe I can tell you more later about these interesting facts.

A electrical circuit is a continous flow of electricity. Here are all the things you need to have wire, a power source, something to take up the energy. There are four difernt circuits. There is a simple that just has the only thins you need. A simple whith a swich has all the things you need plus a swich. A series has a has two or more things take up the energy. A parallal has two things that take the energy and you can turn off one of them and the othere still will go. We learned that there are many ways that look right but there is only one right way. In are group we would touch the two wires tougether they would spark. We learned a lot of cool things today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

An electric circut is particular parts put together to make an electric flow. Some things you need are a power sourse,wires, and something that requires electricity. Some cicuts are the simple circut,the simple circut with a switch,the parallel circut,and the series circut. The simple circut requires a battery,wires,and a light bulb.
* * * * * *
The simple cicut with a switch is the same as a simple circut only it has a switch to stop electricity and let it through.The parallel circut needs more wires,two light bulbs, and a battery. You should be able to unscrew one light bulb and the other one should be lit.This is what I learned about circuts in school.

A electrical circuit is something that alows electricity flow through and continues the flow of electriaty.The parts that you need to make the circuit work are power sorces,(batteries)wires, and somthing to start it(light bulb).The types of circuits are simple, series,simple with a switch, and parallel.I learned that if the batteries are not strait the light bulb will not light if you don't have enough power the light bulb will not light if it does light it will be very dull.I also learned that you have to make shure all of the lights are connected because else they will not light.Thats what I learned today.

An electric circuit is a continuous flow through wires or cunductors. The necessary parts for the circuit to work are a power suorce, wires or something that connects the things(something that doesn't have gaps or cracks),and something that needs power, like light bulbs.

Their are different kinds of circuits here are some...... there's a simple circuit, a simple circuit with a switch, a parallel circuit, and a series circuit. They are different because the simple circuit just has a battery and a light bulb,a simple circuit with a swith has a light bulb, a battery, and a swith. The parallel circuit has two light bulbs across from each other and when you unscrew one light bulb the other one stays lit,it has a battery too. The last one is the series circuit it has two light bulbs next to each other and this one has a battery too.

It was fun creating circuits. We did all of the circuits except the simple circuit with a switch. Carter and I held the cords on the batteries.

An electrical ciruit is the continus flow of energy from the power source to the object that is using the power. The power source, and the object using the power is conected by wires or conductors. In a circuit you must need toose three things. In a circuit you have to connect wirs to the object and the powre source or it will not work. On a wire there is the actual wire and plastic on the outside. You can not put the plastic to the plastic because plastic is an insulator. Insulators don't alow electricity threw them. There are four types of circuits, simple, simple with a switch, series, and parallel. The simple circuit is very simple.(HA HA) All it is is a power sucker, a power source, and wires to cnect the three. The only way to stop it is to break the flow of energy or if the light burns out. The series circuit has two power suckers. If one power sucker goes out, so does the other because the energy has to pass through to get back to the energy source. The parallel circuit again has two power suckers. The real test if it is a parallel circuit is that it is a parallel circuit is to disconnect one power sucker and the other sould still stay on. I would love to tell you more about the wondeful world of cicuits but I ran out of time. See, circuits are fun to learn about!

A electrical circuit is something that continues the flow of electricity.You need 3 necessary parts for the circuit to work.The fist one is a power source like a battery.The second one is wires.The last one is something to show that it is working.Today we made all of the circuit except the simple circuit with a switch.That is all I have time for so bye for now!

An electical circut is a circut that carries units of electricity. For the circut to work you need wires,a power source,and something that needs to be powered by electricity. There's the simple circut,the simple circut with a switch,the parallel circut,and last but not least the series circut. The simple circut is different from all of them because, it is the only one with onlyone light bulb and switch to turn it off and on.The simple one with a switch is the only one with a switch.The parallel one is the only one that if you unscrew one ofthe light bulbs it doesn't the other one doesn't go out because it has different wires.The series one is different from all of them because it is the only one with two light bulbs connected with the same wires.I had alot of fun with my group.The funniest thing was either when we had to find out how to get a parallel circut going because we all had no clue onhow to do itor the time where we found out if you rub the wires agianst the light bulb sparks will fly off it.We learned that it's a lot harder than it looks to put together all of those circuts.We had some problems with the parallel circut because the light bulbs kept on going out.Thefunnest thing was trying to figure where all the wires went we had a lot of fun laughs on that.So youmight want to try that at home it's awhole lot of fun.THE END

It is an electric current that continously flows through a wire. You need a power source(battery),wire(conductor,& something that needs power. There is a simple circuit. Were there is only one bulb. There is the simple circuit with the switch. Were you can turn the light bulb on and off with the switch. There is the series circuit. Were there is only one pathway so when you dis connect one light bulb they both go out. Last but not least the parallal circuit. Is were if you dis connect one bulb theother stays lit. The parallal is different from the series because when you take out one bulb the other stays lit and the other way around with the series. that is what we leared in science. God is so amazing!!!!!

An Electrical Circuit is a continuus flow of electricity that has gaps and openings in it.There has to be a battery and wire and a bulb that you have to put in!There is a Simple Circuit witch is a battery and wire hooked on to it,and there's a bulb that conects them,and then it's the wire again until it gets back to the battery.A Simple Circuit with a switch is the same thing as a Simple Circuit but it has a switch in it.A series Circuit is a Circuit that has about two bulbs and it has a battery to.If you take out one bulb then there will be all of them out.A Paralell Circuit is a Circuit that has wire and two bulbs and a battery but the two bulbs are not dependent like the Series circuit because if you take out one bulb then one will still be on!Because you have them both on a different angle of the wire.They are different becaus some of them have different parts then the other ones.Some of them are the same but some of them are different from other ones.I wish I could make something that easy like god does.He creates so mant things that we don't even no about!We made very cool Circuits today and there very cool!We learned alot of things today!Well,at first we couldent get some things but then we got it more and we were be able to do it!We learned that we dident get things at first but then we got it and we made them very good!And we learned about how we had to do some things that we dident do before like we dident hook up enouph batterys at first!And sometimes not even the wire!And sometimes we dident have enouph power sometimes and it was hard until we got it!Like we dident add enouph things to it!There were some things that were cool because we all worked on it together and we finally we got it and it was easy!It was cool to!I think it was very interesting to find new things and do them right!It was very cool and all of our group helped!It was very interestin that no matter what our team did it very good!I'm happy of that!I think that the interesting thing was that I we tried good!

An electrical circuit is the flow of electric charges through conductors. All of the parts necessary for the circuit to work is a charge or a battery, wire, and something to show that it works like a light bulb. A few different types of circuits are the simple circuit with a switch, the simple circuit, the parallel circuit, and the series circuit. They are all different like the parallel circuit if you take one of the light bukbs out the other one would still work. If you would take one of the light bukbs out of the series circuit they would both go out. The simple circuit with a switch is different tha the simple circuit because it has a switch to turn it on and the smple circuit does not. Our groups expierience is that you not only need to have it in the cieling or in the walls like we usually do. But you can create it with batteries, wire, and something to show that it works like a light bulb. I learned that it only works one way to make the light bulb to light up. The problems that I encountered were not doing it the way it was supposed to go, and the batteries not staying in the same place. Some of the really cool things that my group did wasthat we learned how to make all of the circuits and learn what they do. That was really cool what we did.

An electrical circuit is something that electricetey can flow threw with no gaps. A circuit needs to have a power source. They need wires for the electricity to go threw or a good counductor. the circuit needs something for the poweer to go threw.

There are 4 kinds of circuits one is the simple circuit it has just a baderay and light bulb. the 2nd is the simple with a switch it is just like the simple but there is a switch. the third is a the sereas circuit it has two light bulbs and if you on screw one the other will go out. The last is the paralel it has two light bulbs but if you on screw one the other will stay lit.

We made some circuits they were very hard to make. It was kind of hard win the groups joined to gether to make a parelel bacause both groups goind together because they both had there own way. A lot of hands were by the circuit. I learned that cicuits are hard to make and that all circuit are hard to make. We all had fun!!!!!!!

That was very good Haley!I didn't think that you could come up with that and how you explained it!It was very good and I think that when you grow up you should be a curcuit women!That was very good!

That was very good Gabby!I didn't think that you could think of something like that!That was very good!I didn't think that you would think of that!
