2. Get your batteries set up on a flat surface. One battery will get thin wire, and the other will get thicker wire.
3. To install your wires, cut two pieces of straw that are the same length as the battery. Place the straw lengthwise on
the side of the battery, and tape it onto the battery with the electrical tape.
4. Your steel wool pad is a good source of wires for your thin wire circuit. Pull it apart and take some strands of steel
from the pad. Make a small pile of these on the side of the table.
5. Now it’s time to create a conductor, something that helps electricity move from one place to another. Take three
strands of steel wool and use your fingers to roll them together into a thin wire. Now, take ten strands of steel wool
and roll them together until they make a thicker wire.
6. Now you’ll have two wires: one thick, one thin. Put the thin wire through the middle of the straw on one battery,
and put the thick wire through the other straw.
7. Tape one end of the thin wire to the negative end of the battery (this is the flat end and should have a minus sign
on it).
8. Wrap the other end of the thin wire around the bottom of one of the flashlight bulbs. Tape it to the bulb with
electrical tape, and make sure the bottom part of the bulb is still exposed.
9. Now, move the end of the light bulb down until it touches the positive side of the battery (the part that sticks out).
If your circuit is complete, the bulb should come on!
Repeat steps 7-9 with the thicker wire.
10. What do you observe? Does Electricity Move Better through Thick Wires or Thin Ones? Give reasons.
11. Suppose all your home appliances are fitted with wires of same thickness. How would it affect them?
12. Think of few things (electric) you use which must have thin wires and why?
NEWSPAPER BASED TASK
5. Newspapers provide a glimpse of the world and make us aware of the happenings around the globe and
update us about the new technologies. Read the newspaper to improve your research skills. Look for any 5
advancements made by the scientists during these holidays. Paste these in your notebook. Also write any 2
boons and 2 banes of each of these technologies.
