Worksheet for making paper cireuit
Part A: Conductivity of materials and construction of a circuit
Some materials such as metals and graphite ean conduct electricity but some cannot.
Please use the following materials (1) a button cell, (2) an LED (light-emitting diode) light (the long
leg is-+ve pale and the short leg is —ve pole; connecting the LED light to the wrong direetion will
cause overheating of the LED) and (3) conducting tape (which is made up of copper and is used to
replace cleetricity wire) to construct a paper circuit for studying the electrical conductivity of
aluminium foil, paper clip, coin, pencil lead (whieh contain graphite and lead), plastic, eardboard and
‘wood splint.
Q.1 Draw a diagram of a paper circuit to test the electrical conductivity of different materials.
Q.2 Construct the paper circuit on a piece of paper, take a photo of the circuit and upload it to
Google Classroom.
Q.3 What are the precautions when you use the LED light, condueting tape and button cell to make
the paper circuit?

CoinPart B: Making paper circuits with LED lights in series and parallel
Q.5 Draw two diagrams for a paper cireuit connecting a bution cell with (1) two LED lights in
series and (2) two LED lights in parallel using conducting tape.
Q.6 Construct the cireuits in Q.5 and take a S-second video of each circuit to show the LED lights
lighting up and upload it to the Google Classroom. Ifthe LED lights do not glow, you should cheek:
the circuit or use two button cells in series instead of one.
Q.7 What is the difference in observations for two set-ups in Q.5? Explain your answer briefly.

Q.10 Please make a Chemistry Christmas Card using the conducting tape, LED lights and button
cell provided, submit the card before the Christmas holidays and upload a 5-second video for the
operation method of the card to Google Classroom,
