What's inside

  1. 1. A battery is connected to a light bulb with copper wires in a complete loop. Will the bulb light up?
  2. 2. Maya tests a wooden stick by placing it in a circuit between the battery and bulb. The bulb does not light. Is wood a conductor or an insulator?
  3. 3. A circuit has a battery, wires, and a bulb, but one wire is not connected to the battery. Will the bulb light?
  4. 4. Carlos puts a metal paper clip into a circuit to test it. The bulb lights up brightly. Is the paper clip a conductor or an insulator?
  5. 5. A simple circuit has a battery, two wires, and a buzzer all connected in one loop. A plastic spoon is placed between the battery and buzzer. Will the buzzer make sound?
  6. 6. Liam builds a circuit with a battery, wires, and a small motor. He tests an aluminum foil strip by connecting it in the circuit. The motor spins. Is aluminum foil a conductor or an insulator?
