Transcript of Questions magnetism electricity
Magnetism
• How do magnets act when they’re close to one another? Why do you think that happens?
• What materials are magnets attracted to? How could you prove that?
• What happens when you put one magnet on top of a desk and another under the desk lid? Why does this happen?
• What materials can magnetic force not travel through? Why do you think this happens?
Electricity • What materials let electricity flow through them?
What are they called? What are they made from? How can you test if a material will let electricity flow through it? What are materials that don’t let electricity pass through them called? What are they made from?
• How does electricity flow through a circuit? • How can you light up a light bulb?
What’s important to make the light bulb work in a circuit? What do the different parts of the circuit (components) do?
• How can you make two light bulbs light up in a circuit? • How can you make two light bulbs shine brightly in a circuit?
What is the difference between the two circuits? Why do the light bulbs not light up with the same brightness in the two circuits?
Create your own questions to test: • Think of a question that you would like to investigate. • Make sure your question can be tested using an experiment.
It should not be a question that you can answer yes or no. It should not be a question that can be answered by looking in a book or researching the topic.
• What materials will you need? • How will you set up the experiment? • How will you make sure the results are clear?
Remember you should only change one thing (variable) at a time.
