The relationship between electricity and magnetism
Electromagnetism
What do we call the area around a magnet where its magnetism can affect other materials?
Magnetic Field
How are electric charges created? (Hint: what is gained or lost?)

A source of electric energy, an electric device, and an electric conductor
Describe one of Newton's three laws of motion.
An object at rest will stay at rest until a nonzero force acts on it
Acceleration of an object is dependent on force and mass
For every action, there is an opposite but equal reaction
A piece of metal that is capable of generating forces of attraction or repulsion
Magnet
What is unique about the geographic and magnetic poles of Earth?

Explain why when you rub a balloon on your head, your hair stands up.
Your hair transfers electrons to the balloon, making the balloon negatively charged and your hair positively charged. Therefore, your hair is attracted to the balloon because opposites attract.
How are an electric current and an electric circuit related?
An electric current has to have an electric circuit to flow through in order to transform into other forms of energy to power things.
