Electricity
Electricity is the flow of tiny particles called
Electrons
A piece of metal with a strong attraction to another metal object.
Magnet
A path that electricity flows through is called a
Circuit
How many planets are in our Solar System
8 (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune
For every motion there is a
Force
The flow of electricity is very similar to the flow of water in either a fountain or drain. Water flows from the fountain into a drain and back through a hose in what we call a
Loop
The attraction a magnet produces is called a
Magnetic Field
Also referred to as a complete circuit, this is a circuit with an unbroken path; electricity flows through the path in a loop.
Closed Circuit
Charged particles from the Sun, called ___________, hit the Earth’s atmosphere, which causes the Earth’s magnetic field to make the air glow
Solar Winds
The name of the invisible force that causes objects to fall to the ground
Gravity
Objects that electricity can flow through are called
Conductors
A physical phenomenon produced by the motion of electric charge, resulting in attractive and repulsive forces between objects.
Magnetism
Also referred to as an incomplete circuit, this is a circuit with a broken path; electricity cannot flow through the path.
Open Circuit
Another term for the Northern Lights is
Aurora Borealis
What makes an object keep doing what it is already doing
Inertia
Objects that electricity cannot flow through are called
Insulators
Magnetism comes from _______ that are found in the Earth
Minerals
To move through a circuit, electricity needs an energy source, such as a
Battery
Why can't we land on Jupiter?
Jupiter is a Gas Giant with no definite shape inside the planet
The amount of matter in an object is called its
Mass
The name for objects that let some electricity in, but not all. The primary example of this is a pencil, which contains both wood and lead.
Resistor
The only objects that can stick to a magnet are those that are made of either
Iron, Nickel, or Cobalt
An electric circuit is made up of parts called
Components (Switch, Wires, Terminals, Microchips, Power Source, Motor, Battery, Bulb/Light
A group of stars forming a recognizable pattern that is traditionally named after its apparent form or identified with a mythological figure are called
Constellations
The pull of gravity depends on the mass of the objects and the _______ between them
Distance
