Physical Science

Use this for “On a position-time graph, when is the walker standing still, moving fastest, or heading back to the start?”

Use this for “A cart speeds up from 2 m/s at 1.5 m/s² for 4 s. How fast is it going, and how far did it go?”

Use this for “A toy car’s position is marked each second. Is it moving steadily, speeding up or slowing down?”

Use this for “Two skaters push off each other. Who moves, and who speeds up more?”

Use this for “A 50 N pull against 30 N of friction on an 8 kg box. What is the acceleration?” and “Why must you keep pushing to keep a box sliding at a steady speed?”

Use this for “What causes the sliding rock to slow down?”

Use this for “What has a bigger effect on kinetic energy, doubling the speed or doubling the mass?”

Use this for “Where is the pendulum fastest, and where does it have the most potential energy?”

Use this for “Is a rolling skateboard’s energy kinetic or potential?”

Use this for “Which color of light has the longest wavelength?” and “How many waves of green light fit in one millimeter?”

Use this for “A wave on a rope has a frequency of 2 Hz and a wavelength of 1.5 m. How fast does it travel?”

Use this for “Order these waves from longest wavelength to shortest.”

Use this for “How do the vibrations compare for a louder sound versus a higher-pitched one?”

Use this for “Why are digitized signals a more reliable way to store and send information?”

Use this for “Two bulbs are wired in parallel across a 6 V battery. What current does each get, and what does the meter read?”

Use this for “A third identical bulb is added in series. What happens to the current and the brightness?”

Use this for “A gap in a circuit is bridged with one object at a time. Which ones make the bulb glow?”

Use this for “Two rubbed balloons are brought near each other. What happens?”

Use this for “Draw the field around a bar magnet” and “What does a compass do near a magnet?”

Use this to record how many clips your electromagnet lifts with more turns.

Use this to record how a magnet’s pull falls as it moves away.

Use this for “Which change would make the electromagnet stronger?”

Use this for “In which group and period is element 17?”

Use this for “An atom has 8 protons and a mass number of 16. How many neutrons does it have?”

Use this for “Which of these elements is a nonmetal?”

Use this for “Which element reacts most like sodium?”
