Chapter 6.1What Is A Circuit?
CPO ScienceIntegrated Physics & Chemistry
Developing A Model
How important is electricity to you?
Why do you think the study of electricity falls in physics?
What do we know about electricity already?
Key Questions What is a circuit?
How do we represent a circuit?
How does a switch work?
Developing A Circuit How many ways did you find to
light up the bulb?
Come and draw the four ways
What does each path have in common?
What is unique about the way the bulb is connected in the circuit?
Trail and Error Why do some circuits work and
others do not?
Electric Circuit Set Build one of the four working circuits using the circuit board— Your circuit
should contain: one battery and battery holder, one bulb and bulb holder, and two wire connectors
Drawing A Circuit We have an easier way
to draw circuits— Circuit Diagrams
We use electrical symbols for shorthand— Use these symbols to
draw the circuit you just built
How Does a Switch Work? Add a switch to your circuit
board— You may need a another wire or two
How does the switch control the circuit?
Summary What do you know about electricity?
What is an electric circuit?— How does an electric circuit operate?— How does a switch control an electric
circuit?
