Static Electricity



You walk across the carpet, reach for the
doorknob and …… ZAP!!!!! You get a shock.
What is going on here?
As you walk across the carpet, electrons
move from the carpet to you.
Now, you have extra electrons.
When you touch the doorknob, you get a
ZAP!
The electrons move from you to the knob
and you feel the shock.

Electric Circuits

An electric circuit is a
path around which
electricity can travel.
There must be a source
of electricity, and an
unbroken path from
one side of the source
to the other.
Current

The flow of electrical charges.
Does it Conduct?


Conductor – A substances that allow
electricity to flow through it.
Insulator – A substance that does not
allow electricity to flow through it.

Magnets

A magnet is an object that can push or pick up materials made of iron, steel, or nickel.

Every magnet has two places where its strength is concentrated, a north and south pole.

A magnet that is free to turn will come to rest with its poles aligned in a north-south
direction.

Unlike poles of a magnet attract each other. Like poles of a magnet repel each other.

A magnet can be made from a steel object by striking it with a magnet.

Once magnetized, a piece of steel can remain magnetized indefinitely.

A magnetic compass works because the earth itself is a magnet: the compass magnet
interacts with the earth-magnet.
Bar Magnets vs. Electromagnets


Bar Magnets
Devices in the shape
of a bar with
magnetic poles at
each end that
attract iron and
produce a magnetic
field.


Electromagnets
Metals that become
magnetic when a
coil of wire with a
electric current is
wrapped around it.

Show What You Know


Choose one of the following
performance tasks.
If you choose to perform either of the
tasks which require you to light a light
bulb, be sure to show your project to
the teacher while the bulb is lit.
Performance Task 1


You’re Nuts!
Using styrofoam packing peanuts and a
piece of wool, devise a plan to attach
the packing peanuts to the wall in the
shape of your name.
Performance Task 2


Light Up! Light Up!
Build a closed circuit using at least 1
battery, 1 switch and 1 light bulb.
Performance Task 3



Light Up Again!
Build a closed circuit using at least 1
battery, 1 switch and 1 light bulb using
Challenge 1 on this website.


Magnet Movie!
Cut a scene from construction paper and glue it to
the inside of a shoe box. You could make a
seashore, a desert – anything goes!
Draw and cut out 2 objects that can move around in
your scene.
Devise a plan to use magnets to move your objects
around in the scene that you created.
