•flName:Bruhath! SivalenkaDate:1Q/10/2020Student Exploration Circuit BuilderDirections: Follow the instructions to go through the simulation. Respond to the questions andprompts in the orange boxes.Vocabulary: circuit, closed circuit, conductor, current, electron, fuse, insulator, open circuit, parallel circuit,series circuit, short circuitPrior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.)1.What do a light bulb, a toaster, a radio, and a computer all have in common?They are required to electrically function2.Suppose you connect a battery to a small light bulb with a single wire. What do you think will happen?Explain your answer.The lightbulb would not light up because it has to have two wires to connect from bothsides of the battery.Gizmo Warm-up: Build a circuit1.Using the Standard components in the upper left of the Gizmo, try to get a lightbulb to light up. You can drag as many bulbs, wires, batteries, switches and fusesas you like onto the circuit board.A circuit is a path containing easily moveable charges. When the light bulb lightsup, negatively-charged particles calledelectrons are flawing through the wire andbulb. This flow is called current.BatteryNow try to light the bulb with thesmallest number of components.3.Based on what you have seen, what must be true for a circuit to light a bulb?
