Which of these are insulators?

Wood     Plastic     Water     Rubber     Metal      Paper

What are Wood, Plastic, Rubber, and Paper.

100

This is the scientific word for the flow of charged particles?

What is Current.

Remember current is like a river it "flows".

100

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.

100

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

100

What is the primary energy type for an electric stovetop?

What is thermal or heat energy.

200

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.

200

This is the scientific name for a battery that converts stored chemical energy into electrical energy?

What is a Dry Cell.

200

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!

200

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.

200

What is the primary energy type of an electric toaster?

What is thermal or heat energy.

300

Which of these are conductors?

Copper Pot     Plastic Coins     Metal Spoon     Cardboard     Wool     Aluminum Foil

What are Copper Pot, Metal Spoon, and Aluminum Foil.

300

A negatively charged particle that surrounds the nucleus of an atom is called what?

What is an Electron.


300

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.

300

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.

300

What is the primary energy type of an electric vacuum?

What is mechanical energy.

400

Why and what are the wires below wrapped in?


What is they are wrapped in plastic, because plastic is an insulator.


400

What is having neither a positive nor negative charge called?

What is Neutral.


Remember we said that Neutrons are neutral charged.

400

This is a type of circuit that does not have a complete flow of electricity?

What is an Open Circuit.

Remember Open is Off!

400

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.


400

What is the primary energy type of laptop?

What is radiant or light energy.

500

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.

500

What occurs when there is an imbalance (not equal) of positive and negative charges?

What is Static Electricity.


500

What is the path through which electricity flows?

What is a circuit.


500

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.

500

What is the primary energy type for an electric blender?

What is mechanical energy.
