Learners explain how power is transmitted over long distances. In this physics activity, students simulate controlling power flow in parallel transmission lines. They discuss several applications of wireless power transmission.

How does electricity work? Budding scientists explore the concepts of electrical currents and open and closed circuits with class discussion and a hands-on activity using a battery to turn on a light bulb. Learners also make predictions...

Students construct their own galvanometer. In this physics lesson, students explain how it is used to detect electric current. They conduct an experiment to measure how much electricity flows through the circuit.

Learners examine electricity. In this electrical conduction lesson, students create a quiz board (circuit board). They work in small groups to construct the circuit board and come up with questions/answers for the quiz portion. This...

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

Fifth graders make a battery. In this physical science lesson, 5th graders word in pairs make the battery. Students follow 4 steps to create the battery.

Learners conduct a series of experiments on electromagnets. In this physics instructional activity, students build their own electromagnet and explain how it works. They determine the factors that affect its strength.

Young scholars explore Earth science by completing energy worksheets in class. In this energy forms lesson, students identify and define a list of energy vocabulary terms and a K-W-L chart. Young scholars view a matter video clip in...
