Week 2 – Day 1

1.a) This is a picture of a famous musician.

Her name is Evelyn Glennie. She plays the drums.

Evelyn moves the drumstick downwards to hit the

drum skin . Then the drumstick bounces backup.

Tick one box to show what force causes the drumstick to bounce up after it has
hit the drum skin.
 b) Evelyn is a deaf. She cannot hear the drum with her ears.

When she has bare feet, she Can feel the drum’s sound with
her feet.

The sound can travel from the drum through the air to Evelyn’s
feet.

Name one other thing that the sound can travel through from
the drum to get to Evelyn’s feet.

______________________________________________________

c) What can Evelyn feel with her feet when the drum makes a sound?

________________________________________________________

d) Evelyn can change the way she plays the drum. She can make the sound get
louder or higher.

Tick one box on each row of the table to show if the sound will get louder.
e) Jill investigated whether or not sound travelled through different materials.

She made three telephones using plastic cups.

she used different materials to connect the cups.

One child talked through the telephone and Jill listened.

Look at Jill’s notes of her investigation.

How many different materials did Jill test?

_____________________________________________

f) What was the factor Jill observed or measured to collect her results?

_____________________________________________________
 g) Jill changed three factors at the same time.

h) Why it is important to change only one factor at a time in an investigation?

________________________________________________________

2. Label the parts of a wave : Crest(peak), trough, wavelength, amplitude

 Day 2 – Magnets and materials

1.a) Callum and lzzy want to find out the force needed to pull different bar
magnets apart from a horseshoe magnet .

They setup the equipment as shown in the photo.

b) Callum needs to measure the force as the magnets separate. It is difficult. The
forcemeter reading goes back to zero as soon as the magnets separate.

c) Callum measures the force using N as the unit of measurement.

What unit of measurement does N stands for?

____________________________________________________________
 2. (a) Liam has a toy train with two carriages. It has a bar magnets to join the
carriages to the engine as shown below.

Write ‘N’ (north) and ‘S’ (south) on the end of each bar magnet so the
carriages to join to the engine.

N and S have been written on the engine for

b) Nisha moves a different bar magnet towards the magnet on the engine. The
magnets do not touch each other. The engine moves away from nisha’s
magnet.

Expalin why the train engine moves away from the bar magnet.

_______________________________________________________________
 c)Rachel has a toy tractor and trailer both have magnets at each end.

When Rachel pulls the tractor, the trailer comes with it.

d) Explain why the magnets cause the trailer to move forward when Rachel
pulls on the tractor.

________________________________________________________________
e) Rachel turns her trailer around. She pushes the trailer towards the tractor,
the tractor moves away without touching the trailer.

Explain why the magnets cause the tractor to move away when Rachel pushes
the trailer towards it.
_______________________________________________________________

f) Draw the magnetic field lines for the magnets given below.
g) Write any two ways to increase the strength in an electromagnet.

__________________________________________

__________________________________________

h) Write the advantage of using an electromagnet.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3.a) Ali has four different magnets and some paperclips. The paperclips are
attracted to the magnets. Draw ONE arrow on the photograph to show the
direction of the magnet’s force on the paperclip.

Name the force on the paperclip that pulls in the opposite direction to the
magnet.

_____________________________________________________

b) The graph below shows Ali’s results. One axis on the

graph has been labelled. Write the label for the other axis.
Ali wants to find the strongest magnet. He adds paperclips
to a magnet one at a time so they make a chain. He stops
 when no more paperclips stick. He repeats this with the other three magnets.

c)The graph below shows Ali’s results. One axis on

the graph has been labelled. Write the label for
the other axis.

_______________________________________

d) Ali moves magnet A towards magnet B. Magnet B

moves away from magnet A even though Ali
does not touch magnet B.

Why did magnet B move away from magnet A?

___________________________________________________

e) Ali tries different ways of putting the magnets together.

Tick ONE box on each row of the table to show if the magnets move together,
move apart or do not move. The first one has been done for you.
