Grade 4 Science · Electricity and Magnetism
Build Grade 4 Science skills with five 10-question practice tests on circuits, conductors, insulators, switches, magnets, magnetic poles, electromagnets, motors, and electrical safety.
These Grade 4 Science practice tests help students explain how electrical circuits and magnetic forces work. Students identify conductors and insulators, build complete circuits, describe magnetic poles, explore electromagnets, and apply electrical safety rules.
For circuit questions, trace the complete path from the energy source through the conducting materials. For magnet questions, identify the poles and the materials involved. Always use safe practices around outlets, batteries, wires, and electrical devices.

Correct answer: A
The correct answer is An iron nail.
Iron is attracted to magnets, while wood, plastic, and paper are not strongly magnetic.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: B
The correct answer is A wooden block.
Wood is not a magnetic material like iron or steel.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: C
The correct answer is Yes, a magnet can pull or push some objects from a distance..
Magnetic force can act across a space between the magnet and a magnetic object.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: D
The correct answer is Near its two poles at the ends.
The poles at the ends of a bar magnet are where its magnetic force is strongest.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: A
The correct answer is Attract an iron paper clip..
Magnetic force can pass through thin materials and pull a nearby paper clip.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: B
The correct answer is Each piece still has a north pole and a south pole..
Breaking a magnet creates smaller magnets, each with two poles.
A closed circuit is a complete conducting path that allows electric current to travel from the energy source and back.
An electromagnet is a magnet made by running electric current through a coil of wire, often around an iron core.
