Parallel Circuit - A circuit where the flow of electricity goes in one direction but has more than one path. If the circuit opens, the flow will continue down another path., Conductor - A material that allows the flow of electricity, and carries an electrical charge.., Series Circuit - A circuit where the flow of electricity goes in one direction and has no other paths. If the circuit opens, the flow stops., Insulator - A material that does not allow electricity to flow., Electrical Current - The movement of electrons through an electrical circuit, or conductor., Law of Conservation of Energy - Energy can never be created nor destroyed, it is transformed from one form of energy to another., Static Electricity - The increase of electric charge on the surface of objects that remains on an object until it either flows into the ground, or loses its charge quickly by a discharge., Electrical Charge - Produced when an atom gains or loses electrons., Energy - The ability to do work., Power Source - Where the energy in a circuit comes from., Resistor - Materials that make it difficult for electrons to flow through them., Electricity Generation - The process of generating electric power from primary sources of energy., Renewable Energy - Comes from a source that can be used more than once because it is replaced naturally., Non-renewable Energy - Comes from sources that will run out or will not be replenished in our lifetimes.,
