Let’s go step by step to fill in each blank using the word box.
Word Box:
circuit, glass, insulators, conductors
electric current, rubber, series, parallel
resistor, copper, battery, silver
---
1. “The flow of electricity is an ________________.”
→ The flow of electricity is called
electric current.
✔ Answer: electric current
2. “A path that an electric current follows is a ________________.”
→ That’s the definition of a
circuit.
✔ Answer: circuit
3. “A ________________ supplies energy to move electricity through a circuit.”
→ A
battery provides the energy (voltage) to push electrons.
✔ Answer: battery
4. “________________ are materials that electrical current cannot pass through.”
→ These are
insulators.
✔ Answer: Insulators
5. “________________ are materials that electrical current can easily pass through.”
→ These are
conductors.
✔ Answer: Conductors
6. “________________ and ________________ are examples of materials that are conductors.”
→ From the word box:
copper and
silver are both metals and good conductors.
✔ Answers: copper, silver (order doesn’t matter)
7. “________________ and ________________ are examples of materials that are insulators.”
→ From the word box:
glass and
rubber are common insulators.
✔ Answers: glass, rubber (order doesn’t matter)
8. “A ________________ is a material that cuts down the flow of current, but does not stop it.”
→ That’s a
resistor — it resists but doesn’t block completely.
✔ Answer: resistor
9. “A ________________ circuit is a circuit in which electrical current can follow only one path.”
→ That’s a
series circuit.
✔ Answer: series
10. “A ________________ circuit is a circuit in which electrical current has more than one path to follow.”
→ That’s a
parallel circuit.
✔ Answer: parallel

Final Answer:
1. electric current
2. circuit
3. battery
4. Insulators
5. Conductors
6. copper, silver
7. glass, rubber
8. resistor
9. series
10. parallel
