Magnets
This is the type of energy that flows in light waves.
What is radiant energy?
A circuit needs to be this in order for electricity to flow through it.
What is closed?
Metal objects such as paperclips, coins, and forks.
What are conductors?
When rubbing one object on another, like a balloon on a hair, the hair will transfer these.
What is electrons?
This is when energy changes into a new form.
What is transforms?
Rubber, plastic, and wood, can all be classified as this.
What is an insulator?
This is the area of a magnetic force.
What is the magnetic field?
This is an educated guess about what will happen in an experiment. It uses "If...then" and is based on your prior knowledge.
What is a hypothesis?
This type of electicity is from the flow of electrons.
What is current?
What could be placed in a circuit to complete it and create a closed circuit?
Something made of metal.
Ex: nail, paperclip, etc.
Static electricity is caused when the number of ______ particles is greater than the number of ________ particles.
What is negative and positive?
These are negative particles located in the outer shells of an atom.
What are electrons?
Electricity flows through this continuous loop that is made of a bulb, battery, and wire.
What is a simple circuit?
This material helps to prevent electrical shock and is often used in insulating wires and preventing electrical current to travel.
What is rubber?
Temporary magnet created with an iron core, wire, and a battery
What is an electromagnet?
Give me a common example of static electricity.
When your socks stick to your clothes coming out of the dryer.
Getting shocked when you touch a metal doorknob.
What is one way that you can increase the strength of an electromagnet?
By increasing the number of coils, the amount of current, the wire thickness, or the iron core.
A circuit that flows in more than one path so if one light goes out, the others will stay on.
What is a parallel circuit?
Water can also be classified as this.
What is a conductor?
