| The two types of charges | Positive and Negative |
| Positive Charge= | Proton |
| Negative Charge= | Electron |
| Like charges | Repel |
| Unlike charges | Attract |
| The 3 parts of an atom | Proton, Neutron, & Electron |
| Electrical Charge | The concentration of electricity |
| Current | The discharge of electricity |
| Insulator | Does not allow electricity to flow freely (rubber) |
| Conductor | Allows current to flow freely (copper) |
| Circuit | A complete or closed pathway through which charge flows |
| Current | Rate at which electrical charges flow past a point in a circuit over a certain amount of time (A or I) |
| Potential Difference | The charge in potential energy divided by the total energy |
| Resistance | How much energy is changed to thermal or or light that electrical charges pass through |
| Static Electricity | Build up of positive or negative charge caused by movement of electrons |
| Chemical reaction | Causes energy in a battery |
| Three ways to observe static electricity | Attraction, Repulsion, and Spark |
