Flashcards about electricity and circuits

SDG 7

Sustainable Development Goal 7 focuses on providing affordable and clean energy.

SDG 12

Sustainable Development Goal 12 emphasizes responsible consumption and production, particularly of energy.

SDG 13

Sustainable Development Goal 13 promotes awareness of how energy use impacts the environment and the benefits of renewable energy.

Specific

A goal statement component in which students will learn how to construct and identify simple electrical circuits, including components like cells, wires, bulbs, and switches.

Measurable

A goal statement component where students will complete a hands-on circuit model and score at least 80% on a quiz covering circuit symbols, functions, and diagram interpretation.

Achievable

A goal statement component in which with guided instruction, group work, and access to basic materials, students will complete the tasks within the classroom setting.

Relevant

Understanding circuits helps students relate to real-world applications like lighting, electronics, and energy conservation, this goal statement component is known as?

Time-bound

A goal statement component in which students will complete the circuit activity and assessments within 2 weeks of starting the Electricity unit.

Electrical energy

A type of energy that powers electrical devices and machines.

Generators or inverters

Devices used when there is a breakdown in electricity supply to provide electricity.

Power Stations

Source of electricity that supplies a lot of electricity and is used in many electrical appliances.

Electric Cells (batteries)

Source of electricity that supplies a little electricity, is portable, and safe.

Primary cells

Cells that provide current as a result of a chemical reaction but cannot be recharged.

Simple cell

A device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy, consisting of two electrodes and an electrolyte solution.

Secondary Cells or Accumulators

Cells that provide current through chemical reactions and can be recharged when needed.

Solar Cell

A cell that directly converts solar energy into electrical energy.

Filament

A tiny thin wire inside an electric bulb that glows when electric current passes through it.

Electric current

The flow of electricity through a closed path.

Electric circuit

The path along which an electric current can flow.

Closed circuit

A circuit that is complete, allowing electric current to flow through it.

Open circuit

A circuit that is incomplete, preventing electric current from flowing through it.

Electric switch

A device used to open or close an electric circuit.

Series Circuit

Type of electrical circuit that has a single loop connection.

Parallel Circuit

Type of electrical circuit that is connected by branches.

Conductors of electricity

Materials that allow electric current to pass through them.

Insulators

Materials that do not allow electric current to pass through them.
