What happens if you put two like poles together?
They repel.
If an object has more electrons than protons then what is its charge?
Negative charge
How do electromagnets work?
there is an electric current that flows through the electromagnet causing a magnetic field in the coils
What is mass?

How are electromagnets different than permanent magnets?
electromagnets you can turn on and off
Where is the magnetic force the strongest in a magnet?
the poles
___________ is a property of matter that creates electric and magnetic forces and interactions
electric charge
What are two ways that you can strengthen an electromagnet?
Increase the number of coils, have an iron core, thicker wire, stronger battery, more batteries
A daily occurance on Earth due to the Moon's gravity.
What is high tide and low tide?
What two factors affect the strength of static electricity?
charge and distance
How do compasses work?

What is gravity?
the force by which a planet or other body draws objects toward its center.
Electrical storms in the atmosphere near the poles due to the interaction of the sun's plasma with Earth's magnetic field.
What is aurora?
Draw a magnetic field around a bar magnet.
looks like a circular motion of arrows from north to south pole
Draw the electric field when two protons are put close together.
Proton arrows point away from each other and do not connect.
Draw and label a diagram of how an electromagnet works.
Should have nail, battery, and wire coiled and each should be labeled.
Why is a baby's weight more on Earth than on Mars?
Earth has more mass, so gravity exerts a greater force.
