Electricity

& Magnetism Test:

Part I:

1. With a partner, perform the following task. Using a light bulb, light bulb holder, battery holder, battery and two wires create a functioning circuit. 2. With a partner perform one of the following tasks: a. Demonstrate which one of the following materials is a conductor (Materials are rubber duck, a paper clip, and a piece of wood) and explain why that material is a conductor (this group will need a third wire). 1 Point 2 Points 3 -Points The group correctly The group correctly The group correctly identified the paper clip identified the paper clip identified the paper clip as a conductor. as a conductor and as a conductor and included the reason why included the definition it was a conductor. of a conductor in supporting there reason for the paper clip being the only conductor in the group. b. Integrate a pre-made switch into a your circuit and explain how it works. 1 Point 2 Points 3 -Points The group correctly The group correctly The group correctly integrated a pre-made integrated a pre-made integrated a pre-made switch into the circuit switch into the circuit switch into the circuit and demonstrated how and demonstrated how and demonstrated how it turns on and off the it turns on and off the it turns on and off the light bulb. light bulb. My group light bulb. My group explained the practical explained the practical use of a switch (in a use of a switch (in a house, school, etc.) house, school, etc.) My group explained how a switch can control the flow of electricity, by disconnecting the conductor the circuit is broken.

 1 Point The group correctly demonstrated two magnets being attracted to one another and two magnets being repelled.

c. Demonstrate two magnets repelling and two magnets attracting and explain why they repel and why they attract. 2 Points The group correctly demonstrated two magnets being attracted to one another and two magnets being repelled. My group then explained that when two magnets are attracted they are drawn together and when magnets are repelled they are pushed apart (use of the definitions). 3 -Points The group correctly demonstrated two magnets being attracted to one another and two magnets being repelled. My group then explained that when two magnets are attracted they are drawn together and when magnets are repelled they are pushed apart (use of the definition). My group also included vocabulary such as North and South poles of the magnets and explained that when the same poles of a magnet are pushed together, they repel and when the two opposite poles are pushed together they are attracted.
