Title: Creating Dynamic Electricity

Materials: 1. Battery (9V) 2. Copper wire (insulated) 3. Small light bulb (LED) 4. Electrical tape 5. Scissors

Instructions: 1. Safety first! Before starting any electrical experiment, make sure to have adult supervision and follow all safety guidelines.

  1. Gather all the materials needed for this experiment: a battery, copper wire, a small light bulb, electrical tape, and scissors.

  2. Take the copper wire and cut a piece that is approximately 10-15 centimeters long using the scissors. Make sure to handle the scissors carefully to avoid any accidents.

  3. Strip off a small portion of the insulation from both ends of the copper wire. This can be done by gently scratching the insulation with the scissors and then pulling it off with your fingers. Be cautious not to cut yourself or damage the wire.

  4. Take one end of the copper wire and wrap it around the positive terminal of the battery. Ensure that the wire is tightly secured to the terminal. You can twist the wire around the terminal or use electrical tape to hold it in place.

  5. Now, take the other end of the copper wire and connect it to one of the terminals on the small light bulb. Again, make sure it is securely attached. You can twist the wire around the terminal or use electrical tape.

  6. Finally, connect the remaining terminal of the light bulb to the negative terminal of the battery. Ensure that all connections are secure and tight.

  7. Congratulations! You have successfully created a circuit that will allow the flow of electricity. The light bulb should light up when the circuit is complete.

  8. To turn off the light bulb, simply disconnect one of the wires from the battery. Always remember to handle electrical components with care and avoid touching any exposed wires or terminals.

  9. Remember to clean up after your experiment. Dispose of any waste materials properly and store the battery safely.

Note: This experiment demonstrates the basic principles of creating dynamic electricity using a simple circuit. It is important to understand that electricity can be dangerous, and experiments should always be conducted under adult supervision.
