Independent Practice:Answer in a complete sentence.

2. For the three circuits shown below, use your pencil to trace the complete paths that the energy can flow through then circle the light bulbs that would be on and put an X on the lights that would be off.

3. In this picture the light is on. Based on that information, what do these wires need to be made of? How do you know?

4. Match the circuit symbol with the part: battery, light bulb, switch, wire.

5. Would the circuit shown in #4 be open or closed? ______

Schematic diagram using symbols of a series and parallel circuit

Use the schematic diagram above and create a series and parallel circuit using wire, light bulbs, and a battery, and a switch. After your create your series and parallel circuit, please draw them here:
