Activity
Conductors & Insulators
Conductors are objects that allow the electricity to flow through it.
Insulators are objects that do not allow the flow of electricity.

Conductors and Insulators
Drag the electricity icon
under its correct category. Research to explain your answer in the space provided.
Will the electricity flow through these objects?
What
Static Electricity Can You See?
Worksheet
Think of a real-life
example of
static electricity.
Place your illustrations here.
Write an explanation here.
Create a collage or scene
in the space to
represent your answer
and describe it briefly.
How do these objects produce static electricity?
Let’s Build Circuits!
Activity
Electricity and Circuits
Circuits in electrical devices allow electricity use with a flip of a switch.
Electrical energy is one of the most common and most useful forms of energy.
Think About it
What makes a
Circuit?
Switch
Electrical Device
produced when
converts electrical energy into another form
Voltage Source
source of electricity,
such as batteries or
electric outlets
Conductor
material that
allows current
to flow
Switch
controls the
current flow
What makes a circuit?
Activity Instructions
Build a diagram of the
different kinds of circuits.
01
Use the illustrations on the page. Duplicate them as needed.
Use arrows to show
the flow of energy.
Identify the type of energy the electric energy is converted to.
02
03
04
Switch Open Circuit
The switch is off, no current flows and no energy is converted.
Press the "/" key and look for the draw tool to create your wires.
Press the "/" key and look for the draw tool to create your wires.
Switch Closed Circuit
The switch is on, allowing the current to flow and use energy to power a device.
Series Circuit
It has a single loop where current flows. All devices are connected in the loop.
Press the "/" key and look for the draw tool to create your wires.
Parallel Circuit
It has two or more loops where current flows. Each loop is independent of the other.
Press the "/" key and look for the draw tool to create your wires.
Short Circuit
It has two or more loops where current flows. Each loop is independent of the other.
Press the "/" key and look for the draw tool to create your wires.
