This person fed us delicious cake in the process of their science fair (and hopefully again!)

Nevaeh!

We used this type of magnet in our generators (watch your fingers!)

Neodymium

True or false: sharks actually have very small teeth all over their skin

True! dermal denticles

Insulators on wires do this.

Prevent electricity loss and short circuits!

Why do you have to spin the magnets to generate electricity in a generator?

To create a magnetic field to push the electrons along!

These objects about the size of a car enter Earth's atmosphere roughly once a year but burn up before reaching the surface.

Asteroids

If a tree falls on a wire and it snaps off the pole, or you flip a switch off on a light, this is called a:

broken circuit

The part of the dam that allows boats through is called a what.

Locks

400

This person created new shapes with their science project...including 360s!

Noelle

400

What were the highest number of wraps of magnetic wire we did on our generators?

800!

500

If an object gets too close to a black hole, it can be stretched into a long, thin shape due to the extreme difference in gravitational pull on different parts of the object. What is this called?

Spaghettification

500

Describe the parts and path of an electrical circuit! 

An electrical circuit has three main parts: a power source (like a battery), conductive wires, and a device (such as a light bulb) that uses the electricity. The path is a closed loop that electricity follows from the power source through the wires to the device and back to the source.
