The picture shows an electrical circuit. This circuit is a series circuit because: 

• It has 3 light bulbs.
• The same current flows through all three light bulbs.
• It uses a single battery.
• The electrical current has more than one path to flow through

What is a Parallel circuit? 

• Has only one path 
• Has more than one path 
• Allows energy to travel through easily 
• Has only one light bulb

An outlet in a wall and a battery are examples of __________.

• Power source 
• Load
• Energy pathway
• ALL of them 

This is the symbol for a _____?

• Lamp
• Water wheel
• Loudspeaker
• Motor

In a parallel circuit if one of the light bulbs burns out the rest _________.

• stop the flow of electricity
•  can still light up
•  will go out
• of the light bulbs burn out also
