Will It Flow?

Energy can be transferred from place to place by electric currents, which can then be used locally to produce motion, sound, heat, or light. However, in order for electricity to pass through an electric circuit, there must be several key parts. Those include conductors, a load (bulb), a power source (battery), and a switch. During this lesson, students will test materials to see which items are good conductors.  Then they will engage in a class discussion and record results on their journal handout.
