Fifth graders build a circuit breaker and examine its function within a circuit.

Fifth graders demonstrate their understanding of circuits by working in small groups to create a flashlight using a limited number of supplies.

Students act out different types of circuits, and create their own circuits using wire, a bulb, a battery and a switch.

Students create a variety of simple, series and parallel electrical circuits to illustrate how electricity flows through different types of basic circuits.

Students investigate how series and parallel circuits work. For this physics lesson, students build their own simple circuits and compare their characteristics. They explain the importance of circuit breakers in household circuits.

Students explore series and parallel circuits. In this physics lesson, students construct a simple circuit and measure its maximum current. They construct their own voltmeter and ammeter that operates at a specified range.

Students explain the danger of incorrectly wired plugs. In this physics lesson, students construct their own safe plug. They share the finished project in class.

Students draw different electrical circuit symbols. In this electricity instructional activity, students construct simple circuits based on circuit diagrams. They share their findings to class.

Learners create an electronic schematic on their PCB. In this physics lesson plan, students solder and assemble electronic components. They research the function of these components and share their findings in a group.

Students examine the uses of batteries and bulbs and explain the differences between series and parallel circuits.  In this circuits instructional activity students complete a lab activity.

Students examine electricity, what its uses are and how it works.  In this exploring electricity lesson plan students study voltage, resistance, current and OHM's law. 

In this electrical circuits worksheet, students study 10 diagrams of circuit parts and vocabulary words. These diagrams involve switches and batteries.

In these batteries worksheets, students read several passages about the components of batteries. Students then fill in the missing words for the 4 sentences about batteries. Students color the pictures that each battery would be used for.

In these electricity worksheets, students learn about electricity, how its used, how it can be changes, and electricity circuits. Students complete an 11 page packet about electricity.

Pupils investigate a circuit and build a flashlight transmitter. In this electricity lesson, students are introduced to the parts of the modulated laser and define the purpose of each part. As an assessment, pupils construct a...

In this electricity worksheet, students study the diagram of the circuits and conductors. Students write how bright each bulb glows.

In this electricity activity, students determine if the circuits shown are parallel or series, calculate the voltage, and the power used by the light bulbs. This activity has 11 problems to solve.

In this electricity worksheet, students review topics related to electricity such as circuits, voltage, electric fields, and resistors. This worksheet has 21 problems to solve.

In this electricity worksheet, students review parallel and series circuits, calculate voltage, and determine electric fields. This worksheet has 18 problems to solve.

In this magnets activity, students describe the differences between a generator and a motor, define electromagnet, and identify a circuit as parallel or series. This activity has 2 short answer questions, 5 fill in the blank and 18...

In this electrical instructional activity, students identify and locate vocabulary words in a word search that are related to electricity. There are 27 words in the puzzle.

Fifth graders are introduced to the concept of circuits and how electricity works. In groups, they design their own subdivision with houses in which they have inside and outside light sources. To end the lesson, they make the circuits...

Pupils test the conductivity of selected liquids and solids. They test the circuit by touching the two free ends of the wires together and add salt little by little recording the data after each addition. Finally, students predict if...

High schoolers engage in a lesson that is about constructing an airbleed circuit while suggesting practical applications for the circuit after conducting some research. To help in the construction students watch a video to watch an example.
