Audience: Students; Grades: 4-5; Subject: Science. (2004) Provides several real-world examples of electric circuits and electric current. Definies electric current as a flow of electric charge started by an energy source that creates a potential difference. Experiments with batteries and electric circuits provide the opportunity to define the parts of an electric circuit such as switch, load, open circuit, closed circuit, series circuits and parallel circuits. Motivating questions focus student attention on each experiment. They also allow students to apply their knowledge to problems that arise in household circuits and understand the necessity for ground plugs, fuses and circuit breakers.
