I need to get new batteries for the remote because I can't turn the television on.

*battery: a container that stores energy until it is needed, then used as a power source.

When I jump rope, my arms and the rope create a model of a complete circuit because there are no breaks or gaps. A complete circuit allows the electric current to flow consistently throughout the circuit.

*complete circuit: circuit that is closed, so there are no breaks or openings to stop the electric current flow

When I plug in my charger, the metal prongs on the end are the conductors of electricity.

*conductors of electricity: a substance that allows carriers of electrical charge, usually electrons, to flow through the circuit.

It takes electrical charge to turn on a light bulb.

*electrical charge: the quantity of electricity held by a body and construed as an excess or deficiency of electrons

My lamp is an example of an electrical circuit because it uses electricity to produce light.

*electrical circuit: a device that uses electricity to perform a task

The electrical current produced causes the microwave to cook my food.

*electrical current: a movement of positive or negative electric particles

The rubber around the cord of my alarm clock is an electrical insulator that prevents the electrical current from shocking me.

*electrical insulators: a material whose electric charges will not flow freely

I think I put the battery in my camera wrong causing an incomplete circuit because it won't turn on.

*incomplete circuit: a circuit that is open and doesn't allow electrons to flow freely
