Which of the following statements correctly describes what is happening in this diagram?
a.
The top of magnet B is positively charged, and the bottom of magnet A is also positively charged. This is showing electrostatic repulsion (opposites attract).
b.
The bottom of magnet A is a north pole, and the bottom of magnet B is also a north pole. This is showing magnetic attraction (opposites attract).
c.
The polarity at the top of magnet B is the same as the polarity at the bottom of magnet A. This is showing magnetic repulsion (like repels).
d.
The polarity of the top of magnet B is the opposite polarity of the bottom of magnet A. This is showing wave refraction (waves bending).

Two-Part Question
1) Which one of these models will have a more powerful magnetic field?
2) Which cause and effect explanation best validates your first answer.
a.
--- Model Two will have a stronger magnetic field
Cause: More electricity (12V battery vs 1.5V) and more coils (10 wraps vs 4)
Effect: Greater magnetic field strength
b.
--- Model Two will have a stronger magnetic field
Cause: This model will have a faster rotation which will produce more electricity.
Effect: More electricity will result in a stronger magnetic field.
c.
--- Model One will have a stronger magnetic field
Cause: It has a 1.5V battery which produces more electricity than a 12V battery.
Effect: More electricity will result in a stronger magnetic field.
d.
--- Model One will have a stronger magnetic field
Cause: This model has four coils which will produce more electricity. 
Effect: More electricity will result in a stronger magnetic field.

Standard 02 (Non-Contact Forces): Two students decided to use their knowledge about non-contact forces to build a hoverboard park. They embedded thousands of bar magnets into the surface of the floor with the north poles facing up.
Hoverboard Skatepark

What would the polarity of the bottom of the hoverboard have to be in order to overcome the non-contact force of gravity (to levitate the board), and what kind of non-contact force would this demonstrate?
a.
---Instead of magnets, they could simply mount wheels on the board.
---This would demonstrate electrostatic force.
b.
---The bottom of the hoverboard would have to be a north pole.
---This would demonstrate magnetism.
c.
---Hoverboards would not have any polarity since they are made of aluminum.
---This would demonstrate nuclear forces.
d.
---The bottom of the hoverboard would have to be a south pole.
---This would demonstrate gravity.

mc008-2.jpg

A group of students constructed a model of an electromagnet which was able to lift two paper clips (see Model W above).
1) Ask Questions:
How does electricity moving through the wire convert the nail into a temporary magnet?
2) Define Problems:
Model W can only lift two paper clips. What change would enbable it to lift more paper clips?
a.
1) A non-contact force (nuclear strong force) forms a magnetic field in the nail.
2) To solve this problem, they could use a plastic or glass core (see Model X).
b.
1) The electrostatic force is reflected through the wire causing diffusion of energy.
2) One solution to this problem is to move the batteries further away from the nail.
c.
1) A non-contact force (gravitational attraction) realigns the atoms in the nail.
2) One solution to this problem is to add more batteries to the model.
d.
1) Electrical current forms a magnetic field which realigns the atoms in the nail.
2) One solution is to add more coils to the iron core (see Model X above).
