Fifth graders investigate concepts of electricity by watching a video about Ben Franklin, participating in a web activity about simple circuits and experimenting with creating simple circuits. They examine conductors and insulators.

Pupils construct an extremely simple series circuit that powers a lamp on and off with a switch. They are in groups of 4 and are given a set of components and have to build the circuit working together as a group. Finally, they have to...

Students explore electricity. In this power experiment activity, students determine what is required for lighting a bulb. Students develop an understanding of open and closed circuits, and how energy is formed

Learners engage in a instructional activity that is concerned with the history of communication devices that are used today and in the past. They practice using morse code as a look into the past and then cover the modern subjects of...

High schoolers study the concept of electricity, what an electric current is and its relationship between voltage and resistance.For this electrical lesson students solve problems using Ohm's law, and research alternative sources of...

Students investigate energy and energy transformations. They compare the various forms of energy, create the circuit and sketch the connections. In addition, they label the circuit to identify areas where energy transformation is present.

Learners recognize the different types of plants and animals living in a local environment. They determine how they require different habitats to live, and relate simple life processes to plants and animals found in local environments.

Fifth graders examine significant events in Post-Civil War America. In this Post-Civil War lesson, 5th graders investigate the important events after the war in 19th century America. They read primary source documents about six topics...

Students construct and use an electromagnet.

Students visit a website that takes them inside of a computer to see how it works. They investigate the people who contributed to computer technology.
