4th Grade Science Magnetism

AB
Magnetan object that sticks to iron or steel
Magnetisma specific kind of force
Forcea push or a pull
Attracta force known as a pull
Repela force known as a push
temporary magneta piece of iron that behaves like a magnet when it is touching a permanent magnet
Induced magnetismwhen a permanent magnet touches a piece of iron, it can make the iron act like a magnet for a short peiod of time
Lodestoneis a special kind of magnet
hypothesisan educated guess based on what you already know
magnetitea rock that has magnetic properties
iron or steelmaterials that magnets are attracted to
conductera material that allows enrgy to flow through it For example: penny, paper clip, safety pin, aluminum foil
insulatorA material that stops energy from flowing through it For example: cloth, eraser, plastic, wooden spoon
electricity sourceGives the energy to the reciever (D-Cell)
electricity receiverA component that uses the electricity from the source to work (motor, light bulb, TV, computer)
Open CircuitAn incomplete circuit, energy does NOT flow through
Closed CircuitA complete circuit, energy flows through
Series CircuitA circuit that SHARES energy. The energy flows from that energy source through each component, separately before flowing back to the energy source
Parallel CircuitA circuit that gives energy to each receiver directly. The enrgy flows from the energy source directly to the component and back to the enrgy source.
