What is electricity? Electricity is a flow of electrons. HOW SHOCKING! How do we get the electrons to flow? The electrons will “flow” if they have a path to follow. How about this copper wire?! I still don’t really get it. Can you show me? Sure! That’s my job! And what were you saying about copper wire??? The copper wire is like a highway for the current to flow along. Can you see the wires? The electrons come out of the battery and flow through the wires (like a highway) to the bulb. Cool, huh?! Would you like to make an electric circuit to show your parents?
