100
These are the two ways that magnets can interact
What are attract and repel
100
This lets heat and electricity go through it
What is a conductor
100
This makes a balloon stick to the wall because of charged atoms
What is static electricity
100
Positive (+) charged atom
What is a proton
200
Draw and lable a diagram of what a magnet would look like if you cut it in half
N-S goes to N-S/N-S
200
What materials conduct electric current (give 3 materials)
What is silver, gold, aluminum, iron, steel or copper
200
Why did we fold the aluminum foil on the inside of the tape on the Light Bulb lab?
The aluminum foil was the conductor and the tape was the insulator
200
A piece of iron or steel that possesses the property of attracting certain substances, such as iron
What is a magnet
300
This is where a magnet is the strongest
What is the poles
300
How do switches control electrical energy
They open and close circuits
300
How the magnetic paperclip chain experiment change with different size paperclips
Bigger paperclips would have less because the magnetism wouldn't be able to travel through as many because they are heavier and longer
300
Space around a magnet that pushes or pulls on iron objects or other magnets
What is a magnetic field
400
Describe what a compass can do and why it is useful
A tool that tells us which way is north by pointing to the magnetic North Pole It can tell direction
400
Describe and draw with labels what is an electric circuit is
A path for electrical energy to move through (See diagram)
400
In the "What's the attraction lab" how could a magnetic field can be seen in this experiment.
By the length that the paperclip moved to the magnet
400
An arrangement of iron wrapped in a coil of wire carrying an electric current
What is an electromagnet
500
Describe the arrangement of the atoms in a magnet
They are all going in the same direction N-S N-S N-S
500
How do electrically charged objects interact
Protons and electrons are attracted to eachother Electrons and electrons repel Protons and protons repel
500
In the lightbulb lab, we built a circuit. Please diagram and lable all the parts, using the following words: battery lightbulb conductor
(See diagram)
500
A safety device that stops the flow of current before wires in a circuit become too hot
What is a circuit breaker
