- Front
- Back
|
A unit used to measure the amount of electric current.
|
Ampere (Amp)
|
|
|
To study something by breaking it down into simpler parts.
|
Analyze
|
|
|
A devise that can produce an electric current as a result of chemical change in it.
|
Battery
|
|
|
A drawing that uses symbols to show how the parts of an electric circuit are connected.
|
Circuit Diagram
|
|
|
A device used to indicate a closed path across two points in a circuit. If the path between the two pints tested is closed, the bulb of the circuit tester will light.
|
Circuit Tester
|
|
|
A system that connects electrical devices so that they will operate.
|
Circuit
|
|
|
To put things together because they share one or more properties.
|
Classify
|
|
|
A decision that is based on observations or on a study of data.
|
Conclusion
|
|
|
A material through which an electric current can pass.
|
Conductor
|
|
|
A condition that is not changed in a scientific experiment.
|
Constant
|
|
|
A scientific investigation in which one variable is changed and all the others are kept the same, or constant.
|
Controlled experiment
|
|
|
Information, such as that gathered during an experiment.
|
Data
|
|
|
A flow of electric charge through something.
|
Electric Current
|
|
|
Something that offers proof.
|
Evidence
|
|
|
A procedure that is carried out to investigate a scientific question.
|
Experiment
|
|
|
A fine wire that becomes hot and produces light when an electric current passes through it.
|
Filament
|
|
|
A prediction about how something works or how two variables are related.
|
Hypothesis
|
|
|
A material through which an electric current will not pass.
|
Insulator
|
|
|
Wire made of nickel and chromium.
|
Nichrome Wire
|
|
|
An expression of how one thinks or feels about something. Based on personal views, not necessarily on facts.
|
Opinion
|
|
|
An electric circuit in which the components are connected so that the current can follow more than one closed path.
|
Parallel circuit
|
|
|
A repeating arrangement of shapes, colors, numbers, or other things.
|
Pattern
|
|
|
A device that allows electric current to flow through it in only one direction.
|
Semiconductor Diode
|
|
|
A substance that can act as a conductor or an insulator.
|
Semiconductor
|
|
|
An electric circuit in which the components are in a single path so that the current has only one closed path to follow.
|
Series Circuit
|
|
|
A path of low resistance made between two points in an electric circuit where the resistance is normally much higher.
|
Short Circuit
|
|
|
A device used to turn the electrical current in a circuit on or off.
|
Switch
|
|
|
An element in an experiment that can be changed.
|
Variable
|
|
|
A unit used to measure the electric potential of a battery.
|
Volt
|
|
|
A measurement of the force of gravity on an object.
|
Weight
|
|
|
A metal strand used to connect electrical devices in a circuit.
|
Wire
|
