Which materials are good conductors? Check all that apply.

• eraser

• nail

• paper clip

• plastic straw

• aluminum foil

Analyze the circuit shown. Which item would complete it between Point A and Point B to allow the current to flow?

• 
• 
• 
• 

This simple circuit allows electricity to flow because it -- 

• is closed

• is open

• has a lightbulb

• contains iron

The lightbulb in the diagram will NOT turn on because --

• there is an opening in the circuit and the electricity can not flow

• lightbulbs do not turn on in a closed circuit

• there is not enough static electricity for the bulb

• the wires are insulators

Identify #1 of this simple circuit.

• battery

• switch

• bulb

Identify #2 of this simple circuit.

• battery

• switch

• bulb

Identify #3 of this simple circuit.

• battery

• switch

• bulb
