Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about gravity, electricity, and magnetism as major forces acting in nature.
- a. Construct an argument using evidence to support the claim that fields (i.e., magnetic fields, gravitational fields, and electric fields) exist between objects exerting forces on each other even when the objects are not in contact.
- b. Plan and carry out investigations to demonstrate the distribution of charge in conductors and insulators. (Clarification statement: Include conduction, induction, and friction.)
- c. Plan and carry out investigations to identify the factors (e.g., distance between objects, magnetic force produced by an electromagnet with varying number of wire turns, varying number or size of dry cells, and varying size of iron core) that affect the strength of electric and magnetic forces. (Clarification statement: Including, but not limited to, generators or motors.)
Essential Questions
1. What is magnetism and how is it used?
2. What is electricity and how is it used?
3. How are gravity, electricity and magnetism alike and how are they different?
4. How do electric charges flow from on object to another?
5. How can they strength of a magnetic or electric field be changed?
