Both magnet sizes and distance affect the magnitude of the magnetic force. The sizes of the magnets in Pair 1 are the same as in Pair 2. The distance between the magnets is also the same. So, the magnitude of the magnetic force is the same in both pairs.

Magnets
Identify magnets that attract or repel
Magnets can pull or push on each other without touching. When magnets attract, they pull together. When magnets repel, they push apart. Whether a magnet attracts or repels other magnets depends on the positions of its poles, or ends. Every magnet has two poles, called north and south. Here are some examples of magnets....
Will these magnets attract or repel? To find out, look at which poles are closest to each other. The south pole of one magnet is closest to the south pole of the other magnet. Poles that are the same repel. So, these magnets will repel each other.

Identify the question that Kendrick's experiment can best answer.
[ "Does temperature affect how much bacteria can grow in liquid?", "Do more bacteria grow in liquid with cinnamon than in liquid without cinnamon?" ]

The passage below describes an experiment. Read the passage and then follow the instructions below. Kendrick mixed bacteria into a nutrient-rich liquid where the bacteria could grow. He poured four ounces of the mixture into each of ten glass flasks. In five of the ten flasks, he also added one teaspoon of cinnamon. H...

Designing experiments
Identify the experimental question
Experiments can be designed to answer specific questions. How can you identify the questions that a certain experiment can answer? In order to do this, you need to figure out what was tested and what was measured during the experiment. Imagine an experiment with two groups of daffodil plants. One group of plants was gr...

Compare properties of objects
An object has different properties. A property of an object can tell you how it looks, feels, tastes, or smells. Properties can also tell you how an object will behave when something happens to it. Different objects can have properties in common. You can use these properties to put objects into groups. Grouping objects...
Look at each object. For each object, decide if it has that property. A slippery object is hard to hold onto or stand on. All four objects are slippery. A flexible object can be folded or bent without breaking easily. The wet ice cube is not flexible. A soft object changes shape when pressed or squeezed. The wet ice cu...

Adaptations
Animal adaptations: skins and body coverings
An adaptation is an inherited trait that helps an organism survive or reproduce. Adaptations can include both body parts and behaviors. The color, texture, and covering of an animal's skin are examples of adaptations. Animals' skins can be adapted in different ways. For example, skin with thick fur might help an animal...
Look at the picture of the ptarmigan. During the winter, the ptarmigan has white feathers covering its body. It is adapted to be camouflaged in the snow. The word camouflage means to blend in. Now look at each animal. Figure out which animal has a similar adaptation. During the winter, the Arctic hare has white fur cov...

What can Jenny and Olivia trade to each get what they want?
[ "Jenny can trade her tomatoes for Olivia's broccoli.", "Olivia can trade her broccoli for Jenny's oranges.", "Jenny can trade her tomatoes for Olivia's sandwich.", "Olivia can trade her almonds for Jenny's tomatoes." ]

Trade happens when people agree to exchange goods and services. People give up something to get something else. Sometimes people barter, or directly exchange one good or service for another. Jenny and Olivia open their lunch boxes in the school cafeteria. Both of them could be happier with their lunches. Jenny wanted b...

Particle motion and energy
Identify how particle motion affects temperature and pressure
The temperature of a substance depends on the average kinetic energy of the particles in the substance. The higher the average kinetic energy of the particles, the higher the temperature of the substance. The kinetic energy of a particle is determined by its mass and speed. For a pure substance, the greater the mass of...
The particles in both samples have the same average speed, but each particle in sample A has more mass than each particle in sample B. So, the particles in sample A have a higher average kinetic energy than the particles in sample B. Because the particles in sample A have the higher average kinetic energy, sample A mus...
