What is static electricity? | Static electricity is the buildup of electric charge on the surface of an object, which can cause a spark or shock when it moves |
What is a circuit? | |
What are conductors? Give an example. | Conductors are materials that allow electricity to flow through them easily. Example: Copper. |
What are insulators? Give an example. | Insulators are materials that do not allow electricity to flow through them easily. Example: Rubber. |
Text Structure: Dogs vs. Cats as Pets: Dogs and cats are both popular pets, but they have different care needs. Dogs require regular walks and more attention, while cats are more independent and can be left alone for longer periods. | Compare and Contrast |
Text Structure: Poor Sleep and Academic Performance: When students don't get enough sleep, their concentration and memory suffer. Consequently, their academic performance declines, and they may struggle to keep up with schoolwork. | Cause and Effect |
Text Structure:Exercise and Mood: Regular exercise releases endorphins, which improve mood and reduce stress. As a result, people who exercise frequently tend to feel happier and more energetic. | Cause and Effect |
