The picture below shows an incomplete circuit. How can this circuit be completed?
Attach the wires
Flip the switch open
Move the battery closer to the bulb
Flip the battery to reverse the charges
Answer explanation
To complete the circuit, the wires must be attached to connect the components. This allows electricity to flow, enabling the circuit to function properly. The other options do not complete the circuit.

Which materials are good conductors of electricity?
Nail and fabric
Nail and gold nugget
Wooden toothpick and fabric

Aubri and Nevaeh rub identical balloons against their hair, creating negative charges. What will happen when they bring their balloons close together?
The balloons will repel each other because they have the same charge.
The balloons will attract each other because they have the same charge.
The balloons will lose their charge and become neutral.
One balloon will transfer its charge to the other.
Answer explanation
The balloons will repel each other because they both have negative charges. Like charges repel, while opposite charges attract. Since both balloons are negatively charged, they will push away from each other.

A student places a wooden board between two magnets, and they do not attract each other. Why?
The wooden board is too thick.
The magnets are too big.
The magnetic field is blocked by the wood.
Magnets do not work through materials.
Answer explanation
The wooden board is too thick, preventing the magnetic field from effectively reaching the other magnet. This thickness blocks the attraction, which is why the magnets do not attract each other.

Paris wants to determine if an unknown material is a metal. Which observation would best confirm and help Paris determine that the material is a metal?
It is a good conductor of electricity.
It can break easily and is very brittle.
It can easily float in water.
It is brown and dull.
Answer explanation
The best observation to confirm a material is a metal is its ability to conduct electricity well, as metals are typically good conductors. The other options suggest properties of non-metals or do not specifically indicate metallic characteristics.
