ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel Smile and Learn English ELECTRICITY for kids ⚡ Episode 3 ???? Create a Circuit ???? Conductive Materials and Insulating Materials
Welcome back to Science Madness! Today, we’re going to explore the exciting world of electricity. We’ll learn how to create an electrical circuit and discover which materials are conductors and insulators. Are you ready to dive in?
Let’s start by building an electrical circuit. A circuit is like a path that electric charges can travel through. To make one, we’ll need two wires, a light bulb, and a battery. First, we attach one end of a wire to the light bulb and the other end to the battery. Then, we do the same with the second wire. And just like that, we’ve created an electrical circuit!
When the circuit is complete, electric charges flow from the battery to the light bulb through the wires, making the bulb light up. Isn’t that amazing? If we disconnect the circuit, the electric current stops, and the light bulb turns off. But when we reconnect it, the light bulb shines again. How cool is that?
Now, let’s make things more interesting! What happens if we add a spoon to the circuit? Do you think the light bulb will still light up? Surprise! The light bulb turns on! This is because the spoon is made of metal, just like the copper inside the wires. Metals like silver, iron, and aluminum are great conductors of electricity.
Conductive materials allow electric charges to flow through them easily, making them perfect for circuits. But did you know that not only metals are conductors? Water is also a conductive material. Isn’t that fascinating?
Let’s try using a different material. Look at this rubber ducky! If we attach it to the circuit, what do you think will happen? The light bulb doesn’t turn on. That’s because the rubber ducky is made of rubber, which is an insulating material.
Insulating materials do not let electric charges flow through them, which is why the light bulb stays off. Other insulators include paper, plastic, and glass. These materials are important because they protect us from electricity. For example, the outside of wires is covered in plastic, and electricians wear rubber gloves to stay safe.
Well, that’s it for today, friends! I hope you had fun and learned a lot about electricity. Remember, electricity can be dangerous, so always be careful. See you soon for more exciting science adventures!

Build Your Own Circuit: Gather some simple materials like a small flashlight bulb, a battery, and some aluminum foil. Try to create your own circuit at home. Can you make the bulb light up? Experiment by adding different objects like a paperclip or a piece of string into your circuit. Observe which objects allow the bulb to light up and which do not. Discuss with your family why some materials work and others don’t.
Conductor or Insulator Hunt: Go on a scavenger hunt around your house to find items that are conductors and insulators. Make a list of at least five items you think are conductors and five items you think are insulators. Test your predictions with a simple circuit if possible, or discuss why you think each item is a conductor or an insulator based on what you’ve learned.
Electricity in Everyday Life: Look around your home and identify at least three devices that use electricity. Think about how electricity travels to these devices. Discuss with a parent or guardian how these devices might work and why it’s important to use electricity safely. Can you think of ways to save electricity in your home?

Welcome back to Science Madness! In today’s program, we’re going to learn more about electricity. We’ll create an electrical circuit and discover which materials are conductors and insulators. Are you ready?
We’ll start by building an electrical circuit, which is a closed path that electric charges flow through. I will need two wires, a light bulb, and a battery. We will attach one end of the wire to the light bulb and the other to one end of the battery. I’ll repeat the same steps with the other wire, and voila! We’ve just created an electrical circuit.
The electric charges flow from the battery to the light bulb through the wires, and as a result, the light bulb lights up. Isn’t it impressive? If I disconnect this circuit, the electric current stops flowing, and the light bulb turns off. When I reattach the wire, the light bulb turns back on. How cool is that?

Let’s make this more interesting! What would happen if I added this spoon to the circuit? Do you think the light bulb would still work? Would you like to make a bet? The light bulb came on! Amazing, isn’t it? Just like the copper inside the wires, this spoon is made of metal, and metal is a great conductor of electricity. Silver, iron, and aluminum are examples of conductive metals.
Conductive materials allow electrical charges to flow through them, making them the best materials to add to an electrical circuit. But conductive materials aren’t only metals; water, for example, is also a conductive material. Curious, isn’t it?
Let’s try another type of material. Look at this rubber ducky! If we attach it to the circuit, what will happen? Will the light bulb turn on?

The light bulb didn’t turn on. The little ducky is made of rubber, which is an insulating material. Insulating materials do not allow electric charges to flow through them, which is why the light bulb didn’t light up. Other materials such as paper, plastic, or glass are also insulators.
As you know, electricity can be very dangerous, so insulating materials are used to protect us from it. For example, the outside of wires is made of plastic, and electricians’ gloves are made of rubber.
Well, I think that’s it, friends! I hope you had fun and learned a lot of interesting things about electricity. See you soon!
