PAY ATTENTION to what you are reading. The article says nothing about a Blue Planet, Circuits or Current Electricity.
Static electricity does which of the following?
Answer
• A. releases a sudden burst of electric energy
• B. flows around a circuit to light a bulb
• C. insulates electrons• D. lights our homes
A
• A. releases a sudden burst of electric energy
• B. flows around a circuit to light bulb
• C. insulates electrons• D. lights our homes
• Static electricity is a sudden transfer of electrons. It does not flow through a circuit and can’t light up a home.
What happens when a cloud transfers electrons to the
ground?Answer
The static electricity causes lightning to strike, you see a flash of light, hear a loud boom and if you were in the way, you would be shocked.
Which of the following is a form of static electricity?
Answer
A. A generator sending electricity to a house.
B. A sock sticking to a towel.
C. A battery lighting up a flashlight.
D. A wall socket supplying electricity to a TV.
B.A. A generator sending electricity to a house.
B. A sock sticking to a towel.
C. A battery lighting up a flashlight.
D. A wall socket supplying electricity to a TV.
A,B and C are all examples of current electricity, not static electricity.
What would explain why a balloon was sticking to a wall?
• A. the balloon was glued to the wall.
• B. The wall and the balloon had opposite charges
• C. The wall and the balloon had the same charges
• D. The wall was wet, so the balloon got stuck.
Answer
B
• A. the balloon was glued to the wall.
• B. The wall and the balloon had opposite charges
• C. The wall and the balloon had the same charges
• D. The wall was wet, so the balloon got stuck.
• A. First; umm, who would glue a balloon to the wall?
• C. Like charges repel, they don’t attract
• D. Since when does a wet wall attract balloons?
• During an experiment, you discovered that you could not light up a light bulb using a wire, battery and a light bulb. When you discussed it as a class afterward, every other group was able to light a bulb using the materials. What should you do?
• A. Decide that everyone else did it wrong and leave your answers.
• B. Copy your neighbor’s paper and change your conclusions.• C. Ask your teacher to tell you what to do.• D. Try the experiment again, using a different way to light the
bulb.
Answer
• During an experiment, you discovered that you could not light up a light bulb using a wire, battery and a light bulb. When you discussed it as a class afterward, every other group was able to light a bulb using the materials. What should you do?
• A. Decide that everyone else did it wrong and leave your answers.• B. Copy your neighbor’s paper and change your conclusions.• C. Ask your teacher to tell you what to do.• D. Try the experiment again, using a different way to light the bulb.
• ALWAYS try an experiment again if your results don’t make sense.

Which type of particle is the only one that can transfer from one atom to another?
A. Proton B. Neutron C. MegatronD. Electron
Answer
A. Proton B. NeutronC. MegatronD. Electron
Which of the following could be a power source for current electricity?
• A. generator• B. insulator• C. conductor• D. Gatorade
Answer
• A. generator• B. insulator• C. conductor•D. Gatorade
• Remember current electricity needs to have a power source that gives it electrons. A generator is the only answer that makes sense.
Which of the following titles makes the most sense to name this article.
A. Electricity and its usesB. Lightning StrikesC. Electrical SafetyD. Circuits go Around
Answer
C
A. Electricity is Very Important
B. Lightning StrikesC. Electrical SafetyD. Circuits go Around
• Think about the article. Does it mention anything about electricity being important?
• Does it mention lightning or circuits?
• It only talks about what to do and what not to do with electricity.
What statement makes the most sense based on the chart.
Object ConductedElectricity
Was an insulator
popsicle stick
no yes
penny yes no
straw no yes
nail yes no
• A. nails conduct electricity better than copper
• B. Man made objects all conduct electricity
• C. Metals will conduct electricity
• D. Big objects don’t conduct electricity
Answer
C.
• A. nails conduct electricity better than copper
• B. Man made objects all conduct electricity
• C. Metals will conduct electricity
• D. Big objects don’t conduct electricity
• C is the only answer that makes sense because the chart says nothing about nails conducting better, all of the objects on the list are man-made and they don’t all conduct electricity, and none of the objects are big.
If you attached a plastic fork to a circuit and the light would not turn on, what could you conclude?
