Will the bulb light up?

灯泡会亮吗?

Description

Identify whether or not a lamp will light in a simple series circuit, based on whether the lamp is part of a complete loop with a battery

Mastery Evidence
  • Predict whether a lamp will light by tracing the circuit for a complete loop
  • Explain that a gap anywhere in the circuit breaks the loop and the bulb won't light
  • Identify the fault in a non-working circuit (e.g. loose wire, missing connection)
Assessment Prompt

If your child looks at a circuit diagram, can they tell you whether the bulb will light up or not, based on whether there's a complete loop?
