Conductors
The 5th grade classes are launching rockets. They take a rocket from each class to compare. The rockets are the same size and shape. Each rocket has a different mass. They launch each rocket from the same height with the same amount of force. What are they testing?
How mass affects the height of the flight
Will adding cold or hot water to a mixture, dissolve a substance slower?
Cold! Hot water would speed up the process
Which item requires the most force to move? A shoebox that has a mass of 2 kg or a refrigerator box with a mass of 27 kg?
Refrigerator box, because it has more mass.
How is energy transformed when the switch is closed?
Electrical energy becomes light energy. The switch needs to be closed in order for electricity to flow!
Plastic, Glass, and Rubber are all examples of _______.
Insulators
A graduated cylinder is filled with water to the 3 ml mark. A red marble is added and the water mark raises to 5 ml. The red marble is removed and a blue marble is added bringing the water to 6ml. What can we infer?
2 ml red marble, 3ml blue marble. Blue marble has more volume!
What is a sign that a chemical change has occurred?
There may be bubbles/ fizzing

-Watching a ball down a lane
-Holding a baseball in your glove
-Hitting a tennis ball with a racket
-Watching a ball down a lane
-Holding a baseball in your glove
Is a wooden spoon a conductor of electricity?
NO! It is an insulator.
What is most likely being tested here?
Volume
When liquid begins to boil, it changes how?
A physical change from liquid to vapor
True or False: As friction increases, items are require more force to move.
True
If two balloons are both negatively charged...what will most likely happen?
The will repel each other
Which would not allow electricity to flow freely?
Eraser, Iron Nail, Aluminum, Copper wire
Eraser. It is an INSULATOR
What action will speed up a dissolving process?
Crushing the item being dissolved
How might you separate salt and sand?
Use water to dissolve and mix with the salt, leaving the sand to settle at the bottom. *Sand does not dissolve in water*
A block and a book are placed on a ramp. They both slide down the ramp but at different speeds. What two factors are acting on the block and the book as they slide?
Friction and Gravity
What type of energy is stored in both a plant and a battery?
Chemical energy
True or false: Saltwater is a conductor of electricity?
True! Saltwater is a conductor of energy because when salt (like sodium chloride) dissolves in water, it breaks apart into positively and negatively charged ions which are free to move around, allowing electricity to flow through the solution by carrying electrical charges
What type of energy is being used in this picture?
Mechanical! This is called a mortar and pestle tool.
Quinny heard there might be iron fillings in her cereal. How might she find them if they are in there?
Use a magnet
Mrs. Mills hung art projects from rubber bands on a curtain rod in her classroom. Sonny's project was at 2 cm, Cydney's project at 3 cm, and Rogers was at 7 cm. Whose project was pulling with the most force?
Rogers, 7cm. *Think about the slingshot eraser experiment*
Alicia combs her hair with a plasic comb. Moving the comb through her hair causes it to become electronically charged. If she holds it near an uncharged piece of paper, what might happen?
The comb will attract the paper (static electricity)
