How to make an electric circuit

Today I was learning how to explain how something works.
I found it easy to find out how everything works.
I found it tricky to copy and paste the story onto my blog.
Next time I will change the words I use to more scientific words.
My digital learning object shows that I can make a circuit and explain how.

How to make an electric circuit

Did you know that you can make a light bulb work with an electric circuit?

You will need a light bulb, a voltmeter, a battery, a switch and a wire.

The Battery is used as a power source for the light. You have to attach the wires to the battery and the light bulb will glow.

To control the light bulb you will need a switch to turn the light on and off. If the switch is open then the light circuit will be incomplete. If the switch is closed then the circuit will be complete and the light will shine.

To test the voltage you will need a voltmeter. What you do with a voltmeter is put it on the cable and there will be a number on the voltmeter showing how many volts there are in the cable.

      Soldering iron heats up solder and it melts it onto the battery.
