Question
Answer
Open Circuit   A brake in the circuit that does not allow electricity to flow.  
🗑
Closed Circuit   A complete circuit where electricity can flow.  
🗑
Conductor   A material that allows electrons to flow through it easily.  
🗑
Insulator   A material that does not allow electricity to flow through it.  
🗑
Name three good conductors of heat and electricity.   water, copper, aluminum, steel, gold, silver, etc.  
🗑
Name three things that are insulators.   rubber, wood, cloth, plastic, glass, crayon, etc.  
🗑
Electromagnet   a temporary magnet that uses an electrical current in a wire to become a magnet.  
🗑
What can cause an electromagnet to be stronger?   Adding more of a power source or wrapping more coils around a nail.  
🗑
What happens when you add energy such as electricity to an object such as a wire?   It gets hot.  
🗑
Switch   An object that opens and closes a circuit.  
🗑
magnetic field   The space around a magnet in which the force can be felt.  
🗑
attract   to pulls towards an object  
🗑
repel   to push away from an object  
🗑
What materials would you need to build a circuit?   a power source, a conductor such as a wire, and a receiver or load such as light bulb.  
🗑
What would happen if you removed a wire from a circuit?   It would open the circuit because it wouldn't be complete.  
🗑
What things are made of atoms?   Everything!  
🗑
What travels from atom to atom to make the circuit work?   electrons  
🗑
In a complete circuit, what's the purpose of the d-cell battery?   It is the power source  
🗑
How can you make a temporary magnet?   You can stroke an object with a magnet several times and it will align the domains of the atoms in the magnet. You can also touch a magnet to steel and it will magnetize the steel.  
🗑
True or False? The magnetic field of a magnet can go through various objects.   True  
🗑
True or False? The greater the distance between an object and a magnet, the stronger the magnetic field.   False  
🗑
True or False? The poles on a magnet that are alike, attract each other.   False  
🗑
What is a natural magnet made of iron ore called?   Magnetite  
🗑
True or False? All metals are attracted to a magnet.   False  
🗑
True or False? All metals conduct electricity?   True  
🗑


   

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.
