Q1: Why can we use wires to connect things?

[Answer]

Making electrical things work is fun and easy. But as electricity can be dangerous, we only ever make things that use batteries.

Batteries are a source of electricity and bulbs use electricity to make light.

Remember that metals carry electricity. So if we use two metal wires to connect the ends of the battery to the ends of the bulb, the bulb lights. Simple!
