Which of these are insulators?
Wood Plastic Water Rubber Metal Paper
What are Wood, Plastic, Rubber, and Paper.
This is the scientific word for the flow of charged particles?
What is Current.
Remember current is like a river it "flows".
Mrs. Collins created a circuit. What would happen if she closed the switch?
A. The battery would get colder.
B. The light bulb would not turn on.
C. The circuit would not change, nothing would happen.
D. The light bulb would turn on.
What is D. The light bulb would turn on.
Remember if the switch is closed it ALLOWS the flow of energy which would make the light bulb turn on.
Which of the following would create static electricity?
A. A Comb and Aluminum Foil
B. A Balloon and Notebook Paper
C. Wool Socks and a Metal Doorknob
D. A Battery and a Rubber Glove
What is C. Wool Socks and a Metal Doorknob
What is the primary energy type for an electric stovetop?
What is thermal or heat energy.
What is an item called that STOPS the flow of electricity and heat?
What is an Insulator.
Remember the insulator is like a red light it tells the electricity to stop, it keeps it from following freely.
This is the scientific name for a battery that converts stored chemical energy into electrical energy?
What is a Dry Cell.
This is a type of circuit that does have a complete flow of electricity?
What is a Closed Circuit.
Remember closed is like a bridge being down so cars (electricity) can flow across it!
What is the scientific term for when a charge pulls the opposite charge towards each other? (Think of magnets)
A. Friction
B. Mechanical Energy
C. Attraction
D. Nucleus
What is C. Attraction.
What is the primary energy type of an electric toaster?
What is thermal or heat energy.
Which of these are conductors?
Copper Pot Plastic Coins Metal Spoon Cardboard Wool Aluminum Foil
What are Copper Pot, Metal Spoon, and Aluminum Foil.
A negatively charged particle that surrounds the nucleus of an atom is called what?
What is an Electron.
What device is created when you tightly wrap an iron nail with copper wire connected to a battery?
A. A Dry Cell
B. A Current
C. A Electromagnet
D. A Switch
What is an Electromagnet.
What would happen if Mrs. Hill put a thin piece of plastic between the two batteries in her remote?
What is it would not work because the plastic is an insulator and would stop the flow of electrons.
What is the primary energy type of an electric vacuum?
What is mechanical energy.
Why and what are the wires below wrapped in?
What is they are wrapped in plastic, because plastic is an insulator.
What is having neither a positive nor negative charge called?
What is Neutral.
Remember we said that Neutrons are neutral charged.
This is a type of circuit that does not have a complete flow of electricity?
What is an Open Circuit.
Remember Open is Off!
What does an electromagnet produce to attract metal, for example, nails or staples?
A. Thermal Energy
B. Magnetic Force
C. Chemical Energy
D. Closed Circuit
What is B. Magnetic Force.
What is the primary energy type of laptop?
What is radiant or light energy.
What is an item called if it ALLOWS the flow of electricity and heat?
What is a Conductor.
Remember a conductor is something that "allows" electricity to flow freely. Like copper wire for example.
What occurs when there is an imbalance (not equal) of positive and negative charges?
What is Static Electricity.
What is the path through which electricity flows?
What is a circuit.
Which of the following magnet examples would "repel" each other, or push each other away?
A. (-) (-)
B. (-) (+)
C. (+) (+)
D. (+) (-)
What are A. and C., because these charges being the same would "push" each other or repel.
What is the primary energy type for an electric blender?
What is mechanical energy.
