Vocabulary Assignments for this Week

Students were given eight new vocabulary words and definitions today.  They are:

electricity	A form of energy made by electrons
current electricity	The flow of free electrons along a pathway such as a wire
static electricity	Electrons that do not flow, but build up on a material
circuit	The pathway on which current travels
insulators	Materials that do not allow electricity to flow
conductors	Materials that allow electrical currents to pass more easily
magnetism	A force that can attract or repel certain substances
electromagnet	A magnet created by the flow of electric current

Their assignments for this week are as follows:

Monday - Illustrate and label all eight words

Tuesday - Write four complete sentences using four vocabulary words.  The sentences may not be definitions, and must demonstrate that you know what the word means.

Wednesday - Same assignment as Tuesday, with the remaining four words you didn't already use.

Thursday - Study and have your parents quiz you on the words

FRIDAY - Vocabulary QUIZ!
