Interpretation: Samuel travelled in a yearly circuit to judge the people at several towns. Tradition sees it as a model of a leader who goes to the people to bring justice. In the primary lessons: In science, a simple circuit has a battery (cell), wires and a bulb, buzzer or motor; the circuit must be complete (closed) for electricity to flow; a switch opens or closes it. A series circuit has one path; a parallel circuit has more than one. Symbols are used in circuit diagrams. In PE, circuits are rounds of exercises. Phrases: «complete circuit», «open/closed circuit», «short circuit», «circuit diagram», «series circuit», «parallel circuit».
