Front

What does a complete, simple circuit require to work?

Back

wire, a battery, and a light bulb

Front

Static Electricity

Back

is the buildup of an electrical charge in or on the surface of an object

Front

Lightning is

Back

discharge of static electricity

Front

Electricity and magnetism are connected. Does electric current flowing through a wire create a magnetic field?

Back

True

Front

Conductors are any type of object through which an electric current can flow.

Back

True

Front

Insulators are any type of object through which an electric current cannot flow. Glass, plastic, and rubber are very common insulating materials. Insulators are used to protect people from electric currents. True or False?

Back

True

Front

What is the correct procedure to test if a material is a conductor or an insulator?

Back

Step 5: Connect a test material to the open ends of wire 1 and wire 3. Step 6: Make observations, and repeat step 5 with a different test material. Conclusion: If the bulb lights up, the material is a conductor. If the bulb does not light up, the material is an insulator.

Front

How will the amount of thumbtacks picked up compared to plastic wrap change with each material? Options: more, fewer, no change

Back

no change

Front

Which investigation would provide evidence of a chemical change and why?

Back

Combining two liquids that give off heat and gas would provide evidence of a chemical change because the particles react to make a new material with different properties.

Which investigation would provide evidence of a chemical change?

Back

Put an antacid tablet in water, and when the antacid and water mix, observe the bubbles that form as a new substance is created.
