things that you can actually see with your own eyes
If you are given a picture and asked to make an observation, you must choose the answer that includes only __________________.
100
open circuit
A(n) __________________ circuit is an incomplete circuit. It is not functional and does not allow an electrical current to flow.
100
conductors
Electrical energy moves easily through materials that are...?
100
Iron (steel)
Cobalt
Nickel
Magnets attract which three metals?
100
electromagnets
__________________ are useful because they can be turned on and off.

3) Soon, it's going to rain

This is not an observation. It is a prediction.
Which is NOT an observation I could make while looking up at the sky?

1) The sky is blue.
2) A big, dark cloud is moving in.
3) Soon, it's going to rain.
200
closed circuit
A(n) __________________ circuit is a complete circuit. It is functional and allows an electrical current to flow.
200
insulators
Material like plastic and wood do not conduct electricity well. They are __________________.
200
lines of force

The iron filings in this picture show __________________ created by a magnetic field.
200
static electricity
If you rub your feet on the carpet, or rub a balloon on a wool sweater, you may create...?
300
Soil
In an experiment to measure how different types of soil affect tulip growth, you fill five identical pots with different types of soil and place a tulip bulb in each. The variable in the experiment is the __________________.
300
a closed circuit
Which will light a bulb, an open or closed curcuit?
300
Insulator


Rubber: Insulator or Conductor?
300
electricity
Magnetism and __________________ are very closely related.
300
Thomas Edison
Who invented the light bulb?
400
Constants
From the previous question, the pots, tulip bulbs, water, and amount of sunlight should be the same for all of the pots. These are the __________________.
400
series circuit
If your strig of holiday lights goes dark when one little bulb burns out, the string of lights is a __________________.
400
Conductor
Copper: Insulator or Conductor?
400
electric current
An electric current creates a magnetic field, and a magnetic field creates a(n) __________________.
400
electrons
Static electricity occurs when negatively charged __________________ are rubbed off of one curface and onto another.
500
The 4th trial (15cm), because it is different from the others.
For accurracy, you perform the experiment many times. In the first three trials, the tulip in sandy soil grows only 10cm tall before dying. The 4th trial, the tulip grows 15cm tall and flowers. Which result is unusual?
500
parallel circuit
This circuit has more than one pathway for the flow of electrical current. If one bulb burns, the others will remain lit. It is a __________________.
500
metal (often copper)
Wires are usually made from __________________ because it conducts electricity well.
500
Electromagnet


If you wrap a wire around a nail and run electricity through the wire, you have created a(n) __________________.
500
