The Topic: Electricity If you are searching for biographies of scientists or inventors who worked with electricity, you may want to go to our companion webpage: Scientists / Inventors in Electricity . There you will find an alphabetized index to biographies of select people. Easier - Electricity is a form of energy produced by the movement of electrons. Electricity is electrical power or an electric current. This form of energy can be sent through wires in a flow of tiny particles. It is used to produce light and heat and to run motors. Harder - Electricity is a basic feature of all matter, of everything in the universe. Electrical force holds atoms and molecules together. Electricity determines the structure of every object that exists. Together with magnetism, it causes a force called electromagnetism, a fundamental force of the universe. Electricity or electrical signals are essential to many biological processes. In our bodies, electrical signals are carried through the nervous system, moving information to and from the brain. Electrical signals communicate to our brain what the eyes see, what the ears hear, and what the fingers feel. Electrical signals from our brain causes our muscle movements. Electrical signals cause each heartbeat.

Related Web Sites Project Description The Dirtmeister is your personal guide to hands-on science exploration in the classroom. By participating in Dirtmeister's Science Labs, kids have the opportunity to experience science firsthand. The steps in completing the challenge follow the same methodology used by scientists in solving problems. After reading the question, students are encouraged to formulate hypotheses. With science expert Steve Tomecek (the "Dirtmeister") serving as facilitator, students complete the hands-on investigation and check their results against their predictions. Teachers who participate in the challenge also have the opportunity to gain valuable experience in teaching inquiry-based science because each new challenge helps to reinforce basic science concepts. For personal advice and support from Steve, join the Hands-On Science discussion in the Teacher Center. Top of Page Background Information on Circuits In this Science Lab, we explore the wonderful world of circuits. Using a simple setup of batteries and bulbs, students will discover how connections in a series circuit can increase and decrease voltage. Series circuits are the simplest forms of circuits because, as the name suggests, all the components are attached in one direct line, or a series. As a result, if there are any breaks in the circuit, the whole circuit will go dead. That's because there is no alternative route for the electricity to flow. If you've ever put up those little holiday lights, you know how annoying a series circuit can be because if one bulb goes out, they all do. That means testing all the bulbs until you find the guilty culprit. On the other hand, in most buildings, if one light goes out, the rest stay on. This is because the circuit wiring is parallel, which means there is a second route for the electricity to follow.
