3. Question 1 What are the charges of these two balloons? The balloons have opposite charges. Check Answer

4. Question 2 Provide an example of an insulator and a conductor. Conductors – Most metals, water Insulators – rubber, plastic, wood, glass Check Answer

5. Question 3 PICTIONARY FACE OFF! Pick one artist from your team to represent you. Your artist will draw a picture of a vocabulary word and your team will guess what the word is. The team that guesses first will win double points. electrons Check Answer

6. Question 4 a.Look at each item on the list below. Explain whether the item is a conductor or an insulator. b.Explain how you could use three wires, a battery, and a light bulb to test each item in part A to determine if it is a conductor of electricity. A.Conductors – house key, coin, metal fork, aluminum foil Insulators – rubber band, wooden toothpick, plastic spoon B. To test the items in part A, you should place each item between two open wires hooked up to the battery and the light bulb. If the bulb lights up when the item is hooked up, the item is a conductor. If the bulb does not light up, the item is an insulator. Check Answer ItemConductorInsulator House key Rubber band Coin Wooden toothpick Metal fork Plastic spoon Aluminum foil

7. Question 5 Label the three main parts of a circuit. The power source, the power carrier, and the power receiver Check Answer

8. Question 6 Contrast a series circuit and a parallel circuit. A series circuit has only one path for the electricity to follow. A parallel circuit has more than one path for the electricity to follow. Check Answer

9. Question 7 If a light bulb was removed from this circuit, what would happen to all the other lights? What type of circuit is this? All the other bulbs would go out. It is a series circuit because there is one path for the electricity to follow. Check Answer

10. Question 8 What type of circuit is shown above? Open circuit Check Answer

11. Question 9 Explain why a series circuit is like a one- way street and why a parallel circuit is like a street with back roads, detours, and bypasses. On a one way street, there is only one way for the traffic to go. If one part of the road is blocked, the whole street cannot be used. If part of a road is blocked, but there are back roads and detours, people can still travel around the part of the road that is blocked and reach their destination. Check Answer

12. Question 10 FACE OFF! Pick two partners to represent you in a game of Outburst. Closed circuit Check Answer

13. Question 11 With magnets and electricity _______ attract. opposites Check Answer

14. Question 12 A paper clip is attracted to a magnet. The paper clip must have been inside ______________. The magnet’s magnetic field. Check Answer

15. Question 13 When would it take the MOST effort to push two points on a magnet together? When two poles that are the same are facing each other Check Answer

16. Question 14 How do you build an electromagnet and how can you make it stronger? You build an electromagnet by hooking up two wires to a battery. Then, you wrap the wires around an iron core, like a nail. To make it stronger, make more coils around the metal. Check Answer

17. Question 15 List four properties of a magnet. Answers will vary. Check Answer

18. Question 16 What is electricity? A form of energy created from the movement of electrons. Check Answer

19. Question 17 What kind of charge do electrons have? A negative charge Check Answer

20. Question 18 How are electricity and magnetism related? Answers will vary. Check Answer

21. Question 19 FACE OFF! Pick a person to play around the world against the other team. If your representative makes it around the other team’s world, your team will be awarded double points. Current Check Answer

22. Question 20 How are current electricity and static electricity different? Current electricity continues as long the circuit is closed and complete. It happens over and over. Static electricity happens one time. It is instantly over. Check Answer
