Investigation 1 Part 1 1. ________________________ An object that sticks to iron. 2. ________________________ A push or pull. 3. ________________________ A property of certain kinds of materials that causes them to attract iron or steel. 4. ________________________ The end of a magnet that orients toward Earths magnetic north pole. 5. ________________________ The end of a magnet that orients toward Earths magnetic south pole. 6. ________________________ To pull toward one another. 7. ________________________ To push away from one another. 8. ________________________ An iron-rich mineral that sticks to a magnet.

10. ________________________ A piece of iron that behaves like a magnet only when it is surrounded by a magnetic field. A temporary magnet can be a piece of iron that is touching a permanent magnet. A temporary magnet can be an electromagnet. 11. ________________________ The influence of a magnetic field on a piece of iron which makes the iron a temporary magnet. 12. ________________________ An object that sticks to iron.

Investigation 1 Part 3 13. ________________________ It organizes data visually to show relationship between two things. 14. ________________________ It is an educated guess based on data or previous experience. 15. ________________________ To make an educated guess (pre means before; -diction means speak). 16. ________________________ It is the point at which

Investigation 1 Part 2 9. ________________________ An invisible field around a magnet.

two lines cross. 17. ________________________ In a scientific investigation, several attempts (three or more) are made to confirm the results.

Investigation 1 Part 4 26. ________________________ It is a source of 18. ________________________ An instrument that uses a free-rotating magnetic needle to show direction. 19. ________________________ It is something you use to gather evidence about something you cannot see. Investigation 2 Part 1 20. ________________________ It occurs when an object has extra electrons. 21. ________________________ It occurs when an object loses electrons. 22. ________________________ Positive and negative electric charges that are separated from each other and are not moving. 23. ________________________ To pull toward one another. 24. ________________________ To push away from one another. 25. ________________________ A tiny particle with negative charge that goes around the nucleus of an atom. electricity. 27. ________________________ refers to more than one cell. 28. ________________________ It provides energy to light the bulb. 29. ________________________ The ability to do work. It can take a number of forms and can be converted from one form to another. 30. ________________________ It is a form of energy. 31. ________________________ It is a form of energy. 32. ________________________It is a component that changes electricity into another form of energy, such as light and heat. 33. ________________________ A pathway for the flow of electricity. 34. ________________________ A circuit allowing current to flow directly from one end of a battery to the other. 35. ________________________ One item in a circuit. 36. ________________________ A flow of electric charge from the negative end of the cell to the positive end of the cell. Investigation 2 Part 3 Investigation 2 Part 2

37. ________________________ It is a device used to open and close circuits. 38. ________________________ An incomplete circuit through which electricity will not flow. 39. ________________________ A complete circuit through which electricity flows. 40. ________________________ A system of lines and symbols used to represent a circuit. 41. ________________________ It holds many components needed to build a circuit. 42. ________________________ It is a metal clip that connects wires in a circuit. 43. ________________________ Rotation of a motor is one of its examples. 44. ________________________ A device that converts electric into motion energy. 45. ________________________ It is a thin wire in a lightbulb that makes light when heated by an electric current.

46. ________________________ A substance like metal through which electricity flows. 47. ________________________ A material that prevents the flow of electricity. Examples are plastic, rubber, glass, and air. Investigation 3 Part 1 48. ________________________ A circuit with only one pathway for current to flow. 49. ________________________ To position an object in a certain way. Investigation 3 Part 2 50. ________________________ A circuit with two or more pathways for current to flow. Investigation 4 Part 1 51. ________________________ A piece of iron that becomes a temporary magnet when electricity flows through an insulated wire wrapped around it. 52. ________________________ In an electromagnet,

Investigation 2 Part 4

the material around which a coil of insulated wire is wound.

53. ________________________ In an electromagnet, wire wound repeatedly around a central core. 54. ________________________ A flow of electricity through a conductor. 55. ________________________ It is a wire used in an electromagnet. It is usually wound around a core of iron or steel which produces a magnetic field when electricity flows through the wire. Investigation 4 Part 2 56. ________________________ It is an educated guess based on knowledge or information. 57. ________________________ It is a way to display the relationship between variables. Investigation 5 Part 1 58. ________________________ A devices that uses electromagnet to send coded messages by closing and opening an electric circuit. 59. ________________________ A switch that completes the circuit in a telegraph system. 60. ________________________ Is a space between the steel strip and the electromagnet.

61. ________________________ It is a set of signals that represents letters or words for sending messages. Investigation 5 Part 2 62. ________________________ It refers to something that is far away. 63. ________________________ It means using science to make something useful (techno means craft or skill; -logy means science of).
