A student wants evidence that a force can act between objects that are not touching. Which investigation shows this?
A student rubs a balloon on her hair and tests it near several things. Which result is evidence that an electric force acts across a gap?

Two students want evidence that an electric current can affect a compass 5 cm away. Which setup would give that evidence?

A teacher wants to show students a push that happens with no contact. Which demonstration shows that?
A charged plastic rod is brought near a light foil ball hanging on a thread. Which observation would be evidence of a force acting across the gap?

A group builds an electromagnet by winding a coil around an iron nail. Which test gives evidence that its field reaches beyond the nail's surface?
A magnet under a table moves a paper clip on top. A classmate says the moving hand shook the table and slid the clip. Which change best answers that objection?
A compass needle turns when current flows in a nearby wire. A classmate says the warm wire heated the air and turned the needle. Which test best answers this?
A rubbed balloon held near an empty can makes the can roll toward it. A classmate says the floor may be sloped. Which change would settle that objection?

A student claims Earth pulls a falling ball without touching it. A classmate says moving air pushes the ball down. Which investigation best answers that objection?
Filings on paper over a bar magnet form curved lines only after the paper is tapped. A classmate says the tapping made the pattern. Which control best answers that?
Clips cling to an iron nail wrapped in a coil while current flows. A classmate says the nail was already magnetic. Which test answers that objection?
Two students measure the distance at which a magnet starts to move a paper clip. Their three trials disagree. Which change would make their evidence stronger?
Iron filings on paper over a bar magnet form curved lines packed tightly near each end and spread widely beside the middle. What does the tight packing near the ends show?

A compass carried in a circle around a current-carrying wire lies along the circle at every position, and reverses when the current reverses. What does this pattern show?
