Name: Rebekah Date: 8/9/2022 Student Exploration: Charge Launcher Directions: Follow the instructions to go through the simulation. Respond to the questions and prompts in the orange boxes. Vocabulary: attract, electrostatic force, negative charge, positive charge, repel Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.) 1. Suppose you rolled a metal ball across a perfectly flat table. What kind of path would the ball take, straight or curved? the ball will roll in a curve oppositely 2. Suppose you held a magnet near the ball as it was rolling. How would the magnet affect the path of the ball? Gizmo Warm-up The Charge Launcher Gizmo shows how charged particles interact. Like magnets, tiny charged particles can either attract (pull together) or repel (push apart) each other. 1. The red particles have positive charge . Click Launch to launch a red (positively charged) particle. Describe the path of the particle. It rolled straight downward 2. The blue particles have negative charge . Drag one of these onto the grid. This particle is fixed, which means it is attached to the grid. Click Launch . What happens now? it rolled straight downward and then upward 3. Drag several particles onto the grid. Try to make the most interesting path you can. Change the speed of the particle with the Launch speed menu. You can drag either a red particle or a blue particle into the launcher. 📷 To take a snapshot of an interesting path, click the camera icon ( ) at the upper right. Right-click the image, select “Copy,” and then paste the image below. 📷 Reproduction for educational use only. Public sharing or posting prohibited. © 2020 ExploreLearning™ All rights reserved
Activity A: Attract or repel? Get the Gizmo ready : Remove all the particles from the grid. Drag a positively charged (red) particle into the launcher. Set Launch speed to Medium . Question: Charges can cause electrostatic forces. How do these forces affect the paths of launched particles? 1. Observe : Experiment with the Gizmo to determine the answer to the above question. 2. Form hypothesis : Answer the following questions based on your observations: A. How does a fixed red particle affect the path of a moving red particle? the red will repel the ball and curve downwards. B. How does a fixed blue particle affect the path of a moving red particle? the blue will attract the ball and then curve upwards. Reproduction for educational use only.

5. Draw conclusions : Fill in each blank below with either “repelled by” or “attracted to.” A. Positively charged objects are attracted to negatively charged objects. B. Positively charged objects are repelled by positively charged objects. Activity B: Match that path! Get the Gizmo ready : Remove all the particles from the grid. If needed, drag a red particle into the launcher. Set Launch speed to Slow . Turn on Show challenge . Goal: Use fixed particles to make a launched particle follow a given path. 1. Run Gizmo : Your goal is to match the gray path. In this challenge you are allowed to use one red particle. Place this particle where you think it should go and press Launch . 2. Observe : Were you close? pretty close surprisingly 3. 📷 Revise : Change the position of the particle on the grid, and click Launch again. Keep trying until you match the path perfectly.

Predict: Based on your hypothesis, predict the path of the launched particle on each grid below. Draw your predicted paths using dashed lines. Label each path “Predicted” or “P”. ( Hand draw in this space or click here to select EDIT to use the drawing tool.) 4. Run Gizmo: Test your predictions using the Gizmo. Record the actual path on each grid with a solid line. Label these paths “Actual” or “A”.
