Circuits

In this piece write what happened

with your experiments and why.

Materials Needed: 3 strips of

newspaper, Plastic wrap,

Procedure: Holding 2 strips of

newspaper up but not touching take

the plastic wrap and rub it

up and down the strips of newspaper.

Now try to touch them together.

Now put one strip down and pick up

the other. Rub only one strip with the

plastic wrap and then put the strips

close to each other.

Cut on the solid lines and fold on the

dashed lines.

AC/DC Power

What is the difference between AC and

DC Power?

Cut on the solid lines and fold on the

dashed lines.

GCFI Receptacle:

What is this? Where would you find

this?

Cut on the solid lines and fold on the

Magnets:

Materials needed: Brass fastener, 2 Bar

Magnets and 1 Compass

Cut each piece; punch a hole where the

little circle is and use a brass fastener

to put them together.

1. Explain what a Magnet is.

2. Using the magnets and compass

write down your observations.

Static Electricity

In this piece write what happened with your experiments and

why.

Materials Needed: 2 balloons, 2-3 ft. of string, Tape

Procedure: Blow up the balloons and tie the strings to the end.

Now hang them beside each other in a door way. They should

be close but not touching. Now rub them in your hair or use a

piece of wool cloth. Let go and see what happens. They should

push away from each other.

Why? Two like charges repel each other but opposite charges

attract each other. You cannot put 2 positives or 2 negatives

together.

Cut on the solid lines and fold on the dashed lines.
