        Wood
        
        Cardboard
        
        Plastic
    - - Components
        
        Conductors
        
        Wires
        
        The component that the electric current flows through
        
        Transport the electrical energy
        
        Load devices
        
        Buzzer
        
        Resistor
        
        Lamp
        
        Motors
        
        Receive the electrical energy
        
        Power sources
        
        Cells
        
        Supplies electrical energy to the rest of the circuit.Have a positive terminal and a negative terminal.
        
        Batteries
        
        A grouped set of cells
        
        Supply the necessary electrical energy to the rest of the circuit in order to move the electrons
        
        Control devices
        
        One-way switches
        
        One-way switches open or close the circuit when they are pressed
        
        Push switch
        
        Push switches open and close the circuit but only while the button is pushed
        
        Two-way switches
        
        Two-way switches have two positions.When we press them,they change from one position to the other.They are also called changeover switches
    - - Open circuits and closed circuits
        
        Open
        
        A ciruit is open when the energy of the power source cannot reach the load devices,so the electric current cannot flow
        
        Electrical schematic
        
        Position of the one-way switch
        
        Circuit status
        
        Off:The lamp is not lit.The electrical current does not flow.
        
        Closed
        
        A circuit is closed when the energy of the power source reaches the load devices,so the electric current flows
        
        Electrical schematic
        
        Positions of the one-way swith
        
        Circuit status
        
        On:The lamp is lit.The electric current flows and the reaches the lamp to light it
      - Short circuits
        
        A short circuit occurs when the electric current is transported by the wires without passing through a load device.
        
        Consequences
        
        In home are very dangerous:They can cause a fire or give us an electric shock
- - - - Consume less energy
      - Certain domestic appliances when they are full
      - Replace incandescent bulbs with low energy bulbs
      - Switch off electronic equipment instead of leaving them in standby mode
- - - - Electricity:
        
        is a form of energy that lets negatively charged particles (electrons) move from one atom to another.
    - - is the flow of electrons from one atom to another inside a conductive material.
    - - Protons (positive charge)
        
        Neutrons (neutral charge)
        
        Electrons (negative charge)
    - - Heat
        
        Sound
        
        Light
        
        Motion
- - - - Electrons move through a conductor,they create friction with the material as they pass through,which produces heat ''Joule effect''
    - - We can convert electricity to motion using a motor
    - - We can convert electricity to light through load devices such as incandescent lamps,fluorescent tubes and electronic or low-energy lamps.
    - - We can use electrical energy to transmit sounds through microphones and we can produces sound effects through sirens,buzzers and bells,produce vibrations
    - - Lamp convert energy to light energy
      - Motor convert energy to kinetic energy
      - Resistor convert energy to heat energy
      - Buzzer convert energy to sound energy
