Students investigate electric circuits. In this electricity lesson, students observe illumination in a series and parallel circuits. They predict and calculate the resistance in each type of circuit using a voltmeter.

Learners explore series and parallel circuits. For 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 conclude that magnets and magnetic fields can produce electricity. Students also understand how a small motor works and how gears work. Students describe how energy can transform along a pathway.

Students build two circuits and explore how transistors function. This activity allow them to observe the operation of a transistor as an amplifier.

Students examine how electric and magnetic fields can be used to force water out of a chamber to move a vehicle forward.

Students are introduced to the topic of electromagnetic induction. In groups, they describe ways in which the magnetic flux can change and discuss emf and current. They use different scientists laws and apply it to various scenerios in a...

Young scholars explore simple electrical circuits. Students experiment, using different configurations, to determine what is necessary to compeete a circuit. Young scholars observe similarities between arrangements that work and...

Students utilize Internet resources to uncover the pros and cons of two topics in alternative energy technology: photovoltaics and fuel cells. Students analyze the structure and function of each system to make observations about the...

Pupils analyze as well as recognize safety procedures appropriate at the workplace. They review a variety of safety terms (vocabulary) and situations at local establishments (McDonald's) as well as danger signs at the workplace.

Students observe cytoplasmic streaming in Nitella cells. They examine the conduction of a wave of depolarization across other membranes, such as the axons of neurons. Students predict the effects of sending a small electric current...

Students study of how much electricity is used in their home and the actual cost for the electricity. They create a realistic conservation plan for their home focusing on the areas that tend to use a great deal of electricity....

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

In this energy production instructional activity, students describe the difference between renewable and nonrenewable energy and identify the different types of energy. This instructional activity has 1 short answer, 1 matching, and 1...

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 this English instructional activity, students read "Fifth Night of Riots in Paris Suburb," and then respond to 47 fill in the blank, 7 short answer, 20 matching, and 8 true or false questions about the selection.

In this psychology worksheet, students complete 5 short answer questions about how the neurons and hormones work together together with the brain.

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

Look inside a battery to see how it works. Select the battery voltage and little stick figures move charges from one end of the battery to the other. A voltmeter tells you the resulting battery voltage. Java required.

Explains the design of circuits that can be used to multiply and rectify AC voltages, e.g., to increase voltage in order to light an LED more effectively and get a brighter light from it.

In this activity, students will use a Voltage sensor to measure the voltage produced by new dry cells of each size. They will also determine whether there is a relationship between dry cell size and voltage.
