7.

Penelope predicted a magnet would not attract copper wire if she brought a magnet close to it and did not touch it. Is Penelope's prediction correct and why?

a)

No, her prediction is incorrect. The magnet will attract the copper wire because it has magnetic material.

b)

No, her prediction is incorrect. The magnet will repel the copper wire because it has no magnetic material.

c)

Yes, her prediction is correct. The magnet will not attract the copper wire because it has no magnetic material.

d)

Yes, her prediction is correct. The magnet will not attract the copper wire because it is a repellent.

8.

Clarence conducted an experiment on magnetic materials. He used a variety of materials. Which of the following set of observations were most likely made by Clarence during his experiment?

a)

When a magnet was placed near a paper clip, a staple, and a battery, the magnetic force from the magnet moved the objects toward the magnet.

b)

When a magnet was placed near copper wire, a gold ring, and an aluminum can, the magnetic force from the magnet moved the objects toward the magnet.

c)

When a nail, a gold ring, and a battery were placed next to the magnet, the magnetic force of the magnet attracted the objects.

d)

When copper wire, a spoon, and a metal bowl were placed near the magnet, the magnetic force of the magnet repelled the objects.

9.

Which of the following would be a reliable source of information to learn about magnetic materials?

a)

Popular video game

10.

Henrietta found this table on a website about objects that will and will not move toward a magnet. She is not sure of the website's author or sources. Is the information she found reliable and correct?

a)

The information Henrietta found is reliable scientific information and the information in the table is correct.

b)

The information Henrietta found is reliable scientific information, but there are errors. A soda can does not have magnetic materials and copper does.

c)

The information Henrietta found is unreliable information and there are errors. A soda can does not have magnetic materials and iron does.

d)

The information Henrietta found is unreliable scientific information, but there are no errors in the table.

11.

A steel bowl and an aluminum pole are made of metals. How are they similar or different?

a)

A steel bowl and an aluminum pole are different because only the steel bowl is magnetic.

b)

A steel bowl and an aluminum pole are different because only the aluminum pole is magnetic

c)

A steel bowl and an aluminum pole are similar because they both are magnetic.

d)

A steel bowl and an aluminum can are similar because neither object is magnetic.
