THE CONDITIONS NECESSARY TO MAKE A BULB LIGHT UP

Name: ___________________________________________ Section: ____________________

Most Essential Learning Competency:

Infer the conditions necessary to make a bulb light up (S5FE-IIIf-6)

Learning Objectives:

1. Define what static electricity is

2. Identify the difference between open and close circuit
3. Identify the parts of the circuit
4. State the importance of knowing what opened and closed circuit are
5. Cite the beneficial uses of electricity

Time Allotment: 5 Days

Key Concepts

 Static Electricity is the result of an imbalance between negative and

positive charges in an object. These changes can build up on the surface of
an object until they find a way to be released or discharged. One way to
discharge them is through circuit.

 A closed circuit makes the bulb light up

because the path of electricity is complete,
allowing electricity to flow through it.
Electricity flows from negative to the
positive terminal of the dry cell. While
another kind of circuit called an open
circuit does not allow the flow of electricity
because there is a gap or no complete path
from one end of the circuit to the other
end.

  An electrical circuit has four parts;
a battery- source of electrical current,
bulb- turns electricity into light wires-
current travels along the wire and switch-
opens and closes the circuit.

 The switches that you see around your

homes are electrical components that can
make the circuits of the lights in our homes
open or closed. So to turn on the lights, you
have to close the circuit by pushing the
switch on . To turn off the lights, you have to
open the circuit again by pushing the switch
off.

 Electricity plays an important role in our daily activities.

Technologies nowadays require electricity to function.

 The help of gadgets like

computers and other appliances
really make life easier and allows
us to do things faster.

 Some of the transportation like

MRT, LRT and electronic jeepney
depend on electricity just like
the machines used in
construction site and factories.
All these things need electricity

Answer Key:

Activity 1

1. Imbalance, negative, surface, positive, charge, build up

Guide Question:

Static Electricity- the result of an imbalance between negative and positive

charges in an object.

Activity 2

Closed circuit ( Differences ) Open Circuit ( Differences ) Similarities

Electricity will flow when the path of It does not allow flow of electricity
electricity is complete because there is a gap or it has no Electrical circuit
complete path.

Guide Question:

1. Switch- Open ( closed circuit ), Closed ( open circuit )

2. Electicity will flow when path is complete (closed circuit ), electricity will not flow because there is an incomplete path ( open
circuit ).

Activity 3

1. Parts of the circuit are: battery, bulb, wire and switch

Guide Question:
Battery – source of electrical current
Switch- opens and closes the circuit
