2010 PSLE Science

[Tapeworm]

Hi guys,


I’m taking psle science tomorrow, and I really need help on electrical/heat conductors and magnetic objects. could someone here please type up a list of the common electrical conductors/insulators, heat conductors and magnetic objects? Cause I get mixed up on that a lot.

and does anyone know an easy way to remember them?

thanks guys

Hello! I'm taking PSLE Science tomorrow too!

Well, here's a list that I can think of right now.

Magnetic Materials:

Iron
Steel
Cobalt
Nickel

My science teacher says we only need to know iron and steel.

Electrical Conductors:

Water
Metals

Heat Conductors:
Metal

Common Electrical Insulators would be plastic and rubber.
Common Electrical Conductors would be iron,steel etc. Water and carbon are also electrical conductors.

Wow, thanks.
And while you're here, i just wanna clear some doubts. Is copper an electrical/heat conductor and/or a magnet? O.O

Oh and, I don't remember where, but i read somewhere that steel isn't a natural magnet, and that it needs to be magnetised.. is that true?

and so for heat conductors and electircal conductors, I just remember that all metals are?

I'm no science expert but as far as I know from my notes, steel is an alloy.
And copper is non magnetic but is an electrical conductor.
It is also a heat conductor.
I got my answers from powerpoint slides done by my class and from the web.

Good luck for tomorrow..
do you mind me asking what school you're from?

Good luck too!

I'm from compassvale primary. How about you? :celebrate:

Hi,


my son's science tutor ask him to remember:
Singapore Is Not Clean

Good luck! :celebrate:

Mine asks us to remember

SIN.

LOLS. He said that Cobalt wasn't very important.
As long as we knew Iron and Steel its okay.

Hi, i go to opera estate... it's a neighbourhood school and it's ---------------------. you probably haven't heard of it before.... i transferred this year to that school since we moved house.

btw, how do you study your science?

I've heard of Opera Estate. My school is a neighbourhood school too.
Hmm I make notes with reference to guide books, and make powerpoint slides, I read my guide books, listen to teacher, attend optional science classes and do practices.
