Scientific Investigation
100
Objects that are attracted to neutral objects
What are charged objects
100
A complete loop of conductors hooked up to a power source such as a battery
What is a circuit?
100
Objects that are known to build up electrons on their surfaces?
What are insulators?
100
The balance of positive and negative charges determining the overall charge in objects
What is net charge
100
A tool that scientists use to explain observations and guide the making of predictions
What is a scientific model
200
Rubber gloves protect electricians because they resist the flow of this.
What is electrons or electricity?
200
The circuit shown will allow one bulb to light when the other is unscrewed?
What is a parallel circuit?
200
Plastic covering on phone charges serves as this kind of electrical protection?
What is an insulator?
200
Created by forces acting at a distance between charged objects
What is an electric field
200
A variable that is measured during an investigation is called this.
What is a dependent variable?
300
This scale shows which object in a pair will become negatively charged when the two objects rub together.
What is the Triboelectric series
300
This circuit (shown here) will not light if a single bulb is unscrewed.
What is a series circuit?
300
Glass, rubber, and plastic all resist the movement of these tiny particles?
What are electrons?
300
This type of electricity builds up when electrons collect on on object's surface.
What is static electricity?
300
This science skill involves using your senses to gather information.
What is observing?
400
This force creates an exchange of electrons as two objects rub together?
What is friction
400
These particles move through a conductor?
What are electrons?
400
Electrical wires are often covered with plastic to improve this?
What is safety?
400
Rubbing a balloon on your hair transfers electron and makes your hair do this.
What is stand up?
400
Before beginning an experiment, a scientist usually starts by doing this?
What is asking a questions?
500
This common winter condition makes static electricity happen more often because the air holds less moisture.
What is dry air?
500
The rate at which electrons move through a circuit.
What is current?
500
An object with like charges will do this.
What is repel?
500
Lightening is a giant example of this type of electrical discharge?
What is static discharge or static electricity?
500
A graph is useful because it helps scientist see these in data.
What are patterns?
