What is electrical conductivity?

• It is the ability of a material to conduct electricity.

• It is the measure of a material's resistance to electric current.

• It is the process of converting electrical energy into heat.

• It is the ability of a material to store electrical charge.

What is the classification of objects based on their common properties?

• Grouping based on shared characteristics

• Sorting by individual traits

• Arranging by random selection

• Categorizing by personal preference

What does the Sun-Earth-Moon system represent?

• The Sun-Earth-Moon system illustrates the gravitational relationships and movements between the Sun, Earth, and Moon.

• The Sun-Earth-Moon system is a model of the solar system's formation.

• The Sun-Earth-Moon system represents the phases of the Moon only.

• The Sun-Earth-Moon system is a representation of Earth's climate patterns.

What is a food web?

• A simple chain of organisms that eat one another.

• A complex network of feeding relationships among organisms in an ecosystem.

• A type of food chain that only includes plants.

• A diagram that shows the energy flow in a single species.

How can a circuit be modified to light only one bulb?

• Connect the battery directly to Bulb C and close the appropriate switch.

• Connect the battery to all bulbs and close all switches.

• Disconnect Bulb C and connect the battery to Bulb A.

• Connect the battery to Bulb B and close the switch for Bulb A.

What is a physical state of matter?

• A form of energy

• A type of chemical reaction

• The form of matter, such as solid, liquid, or gas

• A measurement of temperature

What is magnetism?

• A physical phenomenon produced by the motion of electric charge, resulting in attractive and repulsive forces between objects.

• A type of energy that can be created by friction.

• A force that only attracts metal objects without any repulsion.

• A natural occurrence that only happens in certain geographical locations.

What is the role of the Sun in the solar system?

• The Sun provides light and heat, and its gravitational pull keeps the planets in orbit.

• The Sun is a planet that orbits around the Earth.

• The Sun is a source of water for the planets.

• The Sun is a satellite that reflects light from the stars.

How can objects be classified based on physical properties?

• By their color and size

• By properties such as electrical conductivity, magnetism, physical state, and density

• By their weight and shape

• By their temperature and texture

What is a switch in a circuit?

• A device that can open or close a circuit, controlling the flow of electricity.

• A component that stores electrical energy for later use.

• A tool used to measure voltage in a circuit.

• A type of resistor that limits current flow.
