Electricity (6th Grade)

Hello everyone!

In 6th grade we have studied ELECTRICITY. Let us show you some of the contents learned:

We know that all objects have electrical charges. Some are positive, PROTONS, and some are negative, ELECTRONS.

Sometimes, the negative charges pass from one object to another. For example:

- By rubbing a pen to a piece of cloth, we pass negative charges from the cloth to the pen.

Now the pen is (negatively) electrically charged. So, it can attract small pieces of paper.

- Or by rubbing a balloon to a piece of cloth, we pass negative charges to the balloon. So, it is attracted to other objects:

This is STATIC ELECTRICITY.

We also know ho to build an electrical circuits. which carries electrical current:

Finally, we can say if some materials are conductors or insulators after adding them into the circuit:
