Electricity

• Atoms have protons, neutrons, and electrons.
• Same number of protons and electrons, it is
  balanced and neutral
• Sometimes electrons get knocked out of place
  free electrons
• If they go to where other electrons are missing,
  this creates a current of electricity!

3
Static Electricity!

• Charge that stays on an object
• When something gives up or gains electrons
• Does not move along a wire or other conductor

4
Current Electricity!

• Electric charges are called electric current.
• Free electrons continuously move to spaces where
  electrons are missing.

5
Examples

• Light bulbs
• Cars
• Computers

6
Conductors

• A conductor is a material that current can pass
  through easily

7
Examples

• Metal
• Paper clips
• Silverware
• Wires
• Water

8
Open-Closed Circuits

• If a switch is opened electrons stay still. No
  electricity moves.
• If a switch is closed electrons move and energy
  is released.

9
Parallel-Series Circuits

• The series move in a circle
• The parallel circuit moves in a straight line
• The parallel series moves in a straight line and
  in a circle

10
Chemical

• Chemical changes cause energy
• Batteries
• Glow sticks
• Pop Rocks

11
Mechanical

12
Nonconductors

• Do not allow electricity to pass through easily
• Insulators
• Rubber
• Plastic
• Glass
