Today, we are going to learn how electricity moves in a path, just like a race car on a track!

A closed circuit is like a circle where electricity can flow, just like a race car going around a track with no gaps! The light turns on.

An open circuit is when the track is broken. The car (electricity) canβt move, so the light stays off.

Can we be like real wires? (Yes, because we let the energy move when connected!)
