Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
Magnetite   Some magnets are found in nature. They are rocks that contain the mineral magnetite.  
🗑
Magnet poles   The parts of a magnetic object where the magnetic force is the strongest.  
🗑
Magnetic force   The attraction or repulsion between magnetic poles (exerts a force!)  
🗑
Magnetite field   The area of magnetic force around a magnet. *can interact w/o even touching  
🗑
Magnet   Any material that attracts iron or material that contains iron.  
🗑
Magnetic domains   All or most of the magnetic domains are facing the same way.  
🗑
Ferromagnetic material   A material that shows strong magnetic properties.  
🗑
Temporary magnets   A magnet made from material that easily loses it's magnetism.  
🗑
Permanent magnet   A magnet made of material that keeps its magnetism.  
🗑
Breaking magnets   If you break a magnet in half ... You just make a smaller magnet w/ a north and a South Pole.  
🗑
Compass   Device that has a magnetized needle that spins freely.  
🗑
Magnetic declination   The angle between geographic north and the north.  
🗑
Van Allan Belts   Two doughnut-shaped regions regions 1,000-25,000 kilometers above earth that contain electrons and protons traveling at high speed.  
🗑
Solar wind   Streams of electrically charged particles flowing at high speeds from the sun.  
🗑
Magnetosphere and Aurora   Magnetosphere- The region of earth's magnetic field shaped by the solar wind. Aurora- A glowing region produced by the interaction of charged particles from the sun and atoms in the atmosphere.  
🗑
Like poles   Repels  
🗑
Opposite poles   Attract  
🗑
Magnetic field lines   Spread out from one pole, curve around the magnet, and return to the other pole.  
🗑
Properties of magnets   1. Attract iron or materials that contain iron. 2. Attract or repel other magnets. 3. One part will always point north.  
🗑
Magnetic field lines   Never cross  
🗑
Rotation   The spinning motion of a body on its axis.  
🗑
Revolution   The motion of a planet around the sun.  
🗑
What causes the seasons on the Earth?   The Earth is tilted 23.5 degrees.  
🗑
Equinoxes   Days in which day and night are of equal duration.  
🗑
Vernal Equinox   First day of spring.  
🗑
Autumnal Equinox   First day of FALL in September.  
🗑
How do you make magnets?   1. Placing an unmagnetized ferromagnetic material in a strong magnetic field. 2. Rubbing the same material with one pole of a magnet.  
🗑
How to destroy a magnet.   1. Dropping it or hitting it hard can cause the domains to be knocked out of alignment. 2. Heating a magnet causes the particles les of that material to vibrate faster and more random, making it difficult for the domains to stay aligned.  
🗑
What does a spinning electron produce?   A magnetic field that makes the electron behave like a tiny magnet Ina atom.  
🗑
The earth is like a   Giant bar magnet  
🗑
Elements   A substance that cannot be broken down into any other substances by chemical or physical means  
🗑
Atom   The smallest particle of an atom  
🗑
Compound   A pure substance made of two or more elements that are combination with other elements  
🗑
Chemical formulas   Compounds are represented by  
🗑
Mixture   Is two or more substance- elements, compounds, or both- that are in the same place but are not chemically combined  
🗑
Heterogeneous mixtures   Consists of visibly different substance or phrases  
🗑
Homogenous mixture   Has same uniform appearance and composition throughout  
🗑
Solution   A mixture in which the molecules of one substance, known as the solute, are dissolved in another substance, known as the solvent  
🗑
Suspension   A mixture in which particles can be seen and easily separated by settling or filtration  
🗑
Colloid   A mixture in which particles do not dissolve, but are too small to see and do not settle out  
🗑
Filtration   The act or process of filtering, especially the process of passing a liquid or gas, such as air, through a filter in order to remove solid particles  
🗑
Magnetic attraction   Passing a magnet over a mixture to remove the magnetic particles from within the mixture  
🗑
Evaporation   The conservation of a liquid into vapor in order to remove it wholly or partly from a liquid of a higher boiling point or from solids dissolved in or mixed with it. Boiling salt water will evaporate the water and leave the salt behind  
🗑
Settling   Allowing a suspension to sit still will cause the larger, heavier particles to settle, or sink to the bottom  
🗑
Chromatography   the separation of mixtures into their constituents by preferential absorption by a solid, as a column of silica or a strip of filter paper or by gel  
🗑
Solvent   The part of a solution present in the largest amount  
🗑
Solute   The substance that is present in the smallest amount  
🗑
Concentration   Refers to the amount of one substance in another  
🗑
Dilute solution   A mixture that has only a little solute dissolved in a certain amount of solvent  
🗑
Concentrated solution   A mixture that has a lot of solute dissolved in a certain amount of solvent  
🗑
Solubility   is a measure of how much solute can dissolve in a solvent at a given temperature  
🗑
Saturated solution   when you've added so much solute that no more dissolves, you have a  
🗑
Unsaturated solution   if you continue to dissolve more solute, you have an  
🗑
Pressure   increase it and you can dissolve more solute, like carbon dioxide in soda. Decrease it and the solute will come out, like when you open soda  
🗑
Type of solvent   certain things dissolve certain things better than others  
🗑
Temperature   for example a hot cup of tea will dissolve more sugar than a cold cup of tea..... but cold soda will dissolve more carbon dioxide gas than warm soda.  
🗑
Energy   the ability to do work.  
🗑
Kinetic energy   energy of motion  
🗑
Potential energy   energy of position, stored energy

🗑
Renewable energy source   Will never run out, it is sustainable  
🗑
Solar energy   generates heat and energy electricity from the sun directly or using photovoltaic cells  
🗑
Wind energy   converts kinetic energy into electricity using windmills with large blades that require 11-13 mile per hour winds on average to operate and generate electricity.  
🗑
Hydroelectric power   creating dams in running water capture the kinetic energy as it moves  
🗑

🗑
Domain   causing the material to be magnetized  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
