Homework Help: Science for Kids. Science is the study of the world around us. Scientists learn about their subject by observing, describing, and experimenting. There are many subjects and branches of science. Some study outer space like astronomy. Other sciences study life (biology) or the earth (geology) or even matter and energy (physics). Below are some subjects that you may be interested in or studying in class. Much of the science we know today was discovered using the Scientific Method. Be sure to check out our new dedicated sections on biology, chemistry, physics, and Earth science.

After reading this section you will be able to do the following: Define a series circuit, and list the components needed to make it. Construct a simple and complex series circuit.

Define what a load is. Try building this simple series circuit In the interactive box (applet) below, you will need to place the correct circuit components (i.e. battery, light bulb, etc.) on the correct diagram symbol by dragging them with your mouse. Congratulations! What you have just created is something called a series circuit. Load defined The light bulb is considered a load in this circuit.

Try building a series circuit with resistors Let’s build another series circuit, but this time we will use some resistors instead of a light bulb. Congratulations! Review When all the components are in line with each other and the wires, a series circuit is formed. Electricity Science in an elementary classroom at Internet4Classrooms.
