Science Grade 5: Simple Circuit Question

Front

What is a simple circuit?

Back

A simple circuit is a closed loop that allows electricity to flow, typically consisting of a power source (like a battery), wires, and a load (like a light bulb).

Front

What is a conductor?

Back

A conductor is a material that allows electricity to flow through it easily, such as metals like copper and aluminum.

Front

What is an insulator?

Back

An insulator is a material that does not allow electricity to flow through it easily, such as rubber, glass, or plastic.

Front

What is deposition in science?

Back

Deposition is the process by which sediments are laid down in new locations, often changing the landscape over time.

Front

How can you test if a material is a conductor or an insulator?

Back

You can connect the material in a simple circuit; if the bulb lights up, it is a conductor; if it does not, it is an insulator.

Front

What happens to the depth of a lake over time due to deposition?

Back

The depth of a lake can increase as sediments are deposited, filling in the lake over time.

Front

What is erosion?

Back

Erosion is the process by which soil and rock are removed from the Earth's surface by natural forces such as wind or water.

Front

What is the role of a drone in studying coastal erosion?

Back

Drones can capture aerial images to help scientists monitor and analyze changes in coastal areas, including erosion.

Front

What is a learned behavior?

Back

A learned behavior is an action or response that an organism acquires through experience or observation, rather than being instinctual.

Front

What is an instinctive behavior?

Back

An instinctive behavior is a natural, unlearned response to a stimulus, such as a turtle retracting into its shell when threatened.
