Concept Checker for Aluminum Can Polarization Simulation
Our Concept Checker for the Aluminum Can Polarization simulation consists of 24 questions organized into 6 Question Groups. Students must correctly answer one question from each Question Group to
earn the Trophy for this Concept Checker.
Like all our Concept Checkers, it is designed to be used as a follow-up to an activity - the
Aluminum Can Polarization simulation.
The Concept Checker targets student understanding of the following learning outcomes:
- The student should be able to describe the manner in which charges distribute inside of a conductor when a charged object is brought near to polarize it.
- The student be able to explain how a conductor becomes polarized in terms of the movement of subatomic particles.
