A student wants to design a complete, simple circuit for a class project. The student has more

materials available than are needed for the project.

What does a complete, simple circuit require to work?

• wire and a switch

• wire and a light bulb

• wire, a battery, and a switch

• wire, a battery, and a light bulb

What is Static Electricity?

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

• the flow of an electric charge through a conductor

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

Lightning is

• circuit

• discharge of static electricity

• wire

• core into a temporary magnet

Electricity and magnetism are connected to each other. Electricity can produce magnetism. When an

electric current flows through a wire, the current creates a very small magnetic field.

• True

• False

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

• True

• False

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

• False

• Magnet 1 should be used to pick up many small magnetic objects at once because the temporary magnet can pick up as many objects as the permanent magnet can.

• Magnet 1 should be used to pick up magnetic objects in one location and drop them off in another location because temporary magnets can be turned on and off.

• Magnet 1 can be used in all the ways magnet 2 is used because temporary magnets can be made stronger or weaker and permanent magnets cannot.

• Magnet 2 should be used to pick up magnetic objects in places where there is no power supply because permanent magnets do not run out of energy.

• Magnet 2 should be used to pick up large magnetic objects because permanent magnets are stronger than temporary magnets.

How will the amount of thumbtacks picked up compared to plastic wrap change with each material?

• more

• fewer

• no change

A student is investigating chemical changes by using different materials. Which investigation would provide evidence of a chemical change and why?

• Melting a solid with fire would provide evidence of a chemical change because the solid would change

  shape.

• Cutting cardboard into many smaller pieces would provide evidence of a chemical change because the

  pieces cannot be put back together.

• Placing a solid into hot water and stirring while the solid dissolves would provide evidence of a

  chemical change because the dissolved material is lost.

• 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.
