4th Grade Physical Science- Magnetism and Electricity CA Focus Questions
Investigation 1: The Force
Part 1: Magnets and Materials
• What is a general rule about what magnets stick to?
• What happens when two magnets come together?
Part 2: More Magnetic Properties
• How can you make a temporary magnet?
Part 3: Breaking the Force
• What happens to the strength of attraction between two magnets as the distance between them
increases?
Part 4: Detecting Magnetic Fields
• What is a compass and how can you one?
Investigation 2: Making Connections
Part 1: Charge
• What is a general rule for how charged objects interact?
Part 2: Lighting a Bulb
• How can you make a circuit that will light a light bulb using just three components—one Dcell, one light bulb, and one wire?
• What kinds of energy conversion did you observe when you made electric circuits?
Part 3: Making a Motor Run
• How an you make a circuit that will run a motor?
• What does a motor do in a circuit? a switch?
Part 4: Conductors and Insulators
• How do you know if a material is a conductor or an insulator?
• How are objects that conduct electricity and objects that stick to magnets alike? How are they
different?
Part 5: Mystery Boards
• How can you figure out where the wires are in the mystery board?
Investigation 3: Advanced Connections
Part 1: Building Series Circuits
• Why do you think the two lamps are dim in a series circuit?
• How you make the two lights in a series circuit brighter?
Part 2: Building Parallel Circuits
• How can you light two bulbs brightly with just one battery?
• How are series and parallel circuits the same? different?
Part 3: The String-of-Lights Problem
• How can you design a string of lights that would not all go off when one lightbulb burns out?
Investigation 4: Current Attractions
Part 1: Building an Electromagnet
• How can you make a magnet that turns on and off?
Part 2: Number of Winds
• How does the number of winds on an electromagnet core affect the strength of the magnetism?
Part 3: More Electromagnets
• How else can you change the strength of an electromagnet?
Investigation 5: Click It
Part 1: Reinventing the Telegraph
• How is the telegraph you made like the one Morse made?
Part 2: Long-Distance Messages
• How can you connect two telegraphs together to send long-distance messages?
