Electrical Pathways & Circuit Mechanics

Science & Innovation

Your child can build or sketch a basic electrical circuit using a power source (battery), conductors (wires), and a load (lightbulb), and knows the difference between an open and closed circuit.

In real life

Fixing a flashlight, your child presses one loose wire into place and watches the bulb turn on: "It only works when the whole path touches!"
