Wires

                                          The wires carry electricity from the battery to the bulb, fan

                                          or toy. They help electricity move so things can work.


                                                                     Bulb

                                                                     The  bulb lights up when  electricity

                                      Copper wires help              moves  through the circuit,  which
                     SMART         electricity flow because          means the circuit is
                     SPARK
                                  they are good conductors.          working properly.





                                                Switch

                                                A switch helps to start or stop the
                                                flow of electricity. When it is ON, the bulb lights up

                                                and when it is OFF, the bulb does not light up.


                 Conductor

                 A  conductor  helps  electricity  move  from  one

                 place  to  another. It allows electricity to  flow
                 easily and keeps the circuit working. Without a

                 conductor, electricity cannot move and the bulb
                 will not light up.

                 Common  conductors  are copper,  steel,  silver,

                 gold and water. They help electricity move in a

                 circuit so things can work.

                                                     Insulator

                                                     An  insulator is  a material  that  stops  electricity

                                                     from circuit. It does not allow electricity to flow in
                                                     a circuit. Insulators are important because they

                                                     keep us safe from electric shocks.

                                                     Common  insulators  are rubber, plastic,  wood,
                                                     glass and paper. They do not let electricity pass

                                                     and help keep people safe.
