Refresh my memory. What's a force again?

Have you ever reached out to open a door and received a shock from the doorknob? 
In order to understand why this happens, you have to understand electric charges. That shock happened because of electric forces.

But wait...
A force is a push or a pull. When I zapped my finger, that was due to electric forces. 
How in the world can an electric shock be a push or a pull?! 😱

This week, we're diving into the world of noncontact forces, such as magnetism!
What is this magnet attracting?! (Draw something!)

Read: 

All matter is made up of very small particles called atoms.  Atoms are made of even smaller particles called protons, neutrons and electrons.
Protons and neutrons make up the center of the atom, the nucleus. Electrons are found outside the nucleus.
Protons and electrons are charged particles. Neutrons are not.
Protons are positively charged (+)
Electrons are negatively charged (-)
Charge is a physical property.
An object can have a positive charge, a negative charge, or no charge (neutral).
Charged objects exert a force – a push or a pull – on other charged objects

Use the reading from above to help you answer the questions below.

1

Electrons are...

Charges Exert Forces 
Objects that have the same charge repel each other (push each other away). Each object exerts a force on the other object, which pushes the objects apart. 


Objects that have opposite charges are attracted to each other.  Each object exerts a force on the other object. These forces pull the objects together.

1

This is an example of two objects that have the same charge and are attracted to each other.

1

Check out the video below! 
It gives multiple examples of  how rubbing objects tranfers electrons and charges objects, causing attractive and repulsive forces.

Now that we have done some learning around electric forces, take what you know and use science to explain how the fire at the gas pump started in the video on question 2.

Words that you could use: electrons, negative charge, positive charge, attract, repels

📗 Notes
Add the following notes to your science journal. These important concepts will be on a quiz at a later date.

This week we are continuing our studies of non-contact forces. Since today we'll be doing a balloon lab, draw a person (or furry being) with some staticy balloon hair!
(Hint: If you click the little hand tool, you can move the balloon up for more drawing space)

Let's do a quick review!

1

Which particles are found in the nucleus (center) of an atom?

1

Which particles have a positive (+) charge?

1

Which particles have a negative (-) charge?

1

When objects with like (same) charges meet, they will.....

1

When objects with opposite charges meet, they will.....

And now, an exploration of charge!

Did you know?
An object's charge can change by transferring electrons (negatively charged) from one object to another. Charges cannot be created nor destroyed, only transferred.

Investigation Question
How does the transfer of electrons change an object's attractive or repulsive nature?

DIRECTIONS:
Use PhET simulator below to help you respond to each of the questions below.

Rub the yellow balloon on the sweater. What happens?

1

Collect all of the negative charges from the sweater by rubbing the balloon on the sweater. Attach the yellow balloon to the wall.

What do you notice about the charges interaction with the wall? Record your observations

1. Select the yellow and green balloon button at the bottom of the
screen.

2. Rub the yellow balloon on only the top half of the sweater to
collect only half of the negative charges. Attach the yellow balloon to
the wall at the center.

3. Rub the green balloon on the bottom half of the sweater to collect the other half of the negative charges. Attach the green balloon to the right side of the sweater in the center.

1

Click the remove wall button.

What happens to the yellow balloon?

1

Click on the yellow balloon and move it away from the sweater.

How can you use the green balloon to keep the yellow balloon from attaching to the sweater?

Reflection Questions
Use your observations from the lab to help you answer the questions below.

1

How do objects become positively charged?

1

How do objects become negatively charged?

1

What type of interactions did you observe between objects of the same electrical charge?

1

What type of interactions did you observe between objects with different electrical charges?

1

Did objects have to touch to interact?

What causes this?

Our big question is:
How do magnets behave?
🧲🧲🧲🧲🧲🧲🧲🧲🧲🧲🧲🧲🧲🧲🧲
Agenda
1. Understanding Magnetic Behaviors

Listen while you read the text below and answer the questions that follow. 

Every magnet has two poles - a north and a south pole.  No matter what shape a magnet come in, it has two poles, no more and no less.  By seeing what you can do with the poles of a magnet, you can learn how magnets behave.

If you hold two magnets together, what happens? The answer depends upon which poles you hold together.

"LIKE" POLES REPEL
If you hold two north poles together, they push apart.  The same thing will happen if you hold two south poles together.  We say that two north poles are "like" poles. Two south poles are also "like" poles. "Like" poles always repel each other.

"UNLIKE" POLES ATTRACT
What happens if you hold a north and a south pole together? They pull toward each other.  A north pole and a south pole are "unlike" poles.  "Unlike" poles always attract each other.

1

Like poles

1

Unlike poles

MAGNETIC FORCE

The push or pull that you feel when you hold two magnetic poles together is magnetic force.  Every magnet can push or pull other magnetic material.  The magnetic force is strongest at the magnet's poles.  The space around a magnet where magnetic forces can act is called the magnetic field.  Lines of magnetic force reach through space from a magnet's north pole to its south pole.  These lines of force are closest together at the poles of a magnet.  You cannot see magnetic lines of force.  They are invisible.

A magnetic field becomes stronger the closer you get to the magnet.  The magnetic field grows weaker the farther you get from the magnet.  A magnet can push or pull a magnetic material that is in its magnetic field.  A magnet can do this without touching the other object.  This ability is why we say that magnets have magnetic energy.
