Electric Switches
Students examine how electric circuits are controlled with a switch. They incorporate a switch into a battery/bulb circuit. They design and create their own switches using everyday materials.
Curated OER
Let There Be Light
Fifth graders explore electricity. In this electricity instructional activity, 5th graders experiment with open and closed circuits. Students determine how to properly connect a battery and bulb to illuminate the bulb.
Curated OER
Circuits and Conductors
For this electricity worksheet, learners examine 6 pictures of electrical circuits attached to a light bulb. They write if the light bulb would be off, glowing dimly, glowing normally, or glowing brightly in each circumstance.
