Get a Charge out of IT
Materials like copper, aluminum, and silver are called this because they easily allow electrons to flow through them.
What are conductors?
These subatomic particles carry a negative charge and are the ones that move to create static electicity
What are electrons.
This is what is moving through the wires to light a lightbulb.
What are electrons?
What is a mammal?
This makes up 99.8 percent of the mass of our entire solar system.
Rubber, plastic, and glass are examples of this type of material which locks charges in place and resist electron movement.
What are insulators?
This is the electrical charge of an object that has exactly the same amount number of protons and electrons.
What is neutral (or no charge).
This type of circuit forms a single continuous loop, meaning that if one lightbulb burns out, all the other lights go out too.
What is a series circuit?
This animal is cold blooded, born in the water with gills, and grows up to live partly on land using lungs.
What is an amphibian?
What is photosynthesis?
When an electron is transferred by touch to create static electricity.
What is transferred by conduction?
If an atom loses two electrons, it ends up with this overall electrical charge.
What is a positive charge?
This type of circuit has multiple branches or paths for electrical current to follow, which is how the outlets and lights in your home are wired.
What is a parallel circuit?
Its the term for any animal, from a jellyfish to an earthworm, that lacks a backbone.
What is an invertebrate?
The reason sound travels four times faster through water than it doe throught the air.
What is the molecules are packed closer together in water than in air.
Grounding works because this massive, neutral object can absorb or provide an endless supply of electrons to make something safe.
What is the Earth?
This positively - charged particle lives inside the nucleus and cannot leave the atom during static charge.
What is a proton?
This safety device contains a thin metal strip that melts and brakes the circuit if the electricle current gets dangerously high.
What is a fuse?
These are small animals with 8 legs and 2 part bodies.
What are arachnids?
This sits in the Earth's stratosphere and absorbs roughly 97 to 99 percent of the suns harmful ultraviolet radiation.
What is the ozone layer?
This massive, dramatic weather event is actually a giant spark of static electricity traveling between clouds or the ground.
What is lightening?
Name all four parts of an atom and their charges.
What is a proton - positive charge, electron -negative charge, neutron - no charge, nucleus - positive charge?
This term describes a dangerous flow in a circuit where the current accidentally takes an unintended shortcut, by passing the load and overheating the wires.
What is a short circuit?
These animals are warm blooded vertebrates, but are not mammals.
What are birds?
These are the smallest blood vessels in the body, so narrow that red blood cells must travel through them in a single file line.
What are capillaries?
