Our Digital World - Making Circuits

We have been learning about Our Digital World. One of our tasks was to read an aticle called Lighting the Sky with Raspberry Pi then we went to a Circuit Construction Website and created our own circuits.
We had to use:

• wires
• batteries
• lightbulbs
• resistor
• switch

We could also use:

• voltmeter
• ammeter

Here is Kaylah's Screencastify of how she made hers:

Some people had electrical circuit kits at their houses so they used them.

In order for electricity to start flowing, we needed to make sure we made a closed circuit. Electricity is caused by tiny particles with negative charges, called electrons.

When a circuit is complete, or closed, electrons can flow from one end of a battery all the way around, through the wires, to the other end of the battery. Along its way, it will carry electrons to electrical objects that are connected to it – like the light bulb – and make them work!
