Combine science and playtime with the final lesson in an innovative unit. Scholars apply everything they have learned in previous lessons to build their own motors/generators and use it in a toy of their own design. 

In this electrical circuit worksheet, students answer a series of 20 open-ended questions about AC motor circuits.  This worksheet is printable and the answers are revealed online.

Fifth graders find examples of magnets in or around their homes and make a list. They discover that some motors use magnets and make a simple motor using magnets, a battery and copper wire. They add to their magnet list.

In this physics learning exercise, learners answer 4 short answer questions on protective relay circuits. They explain how differential relay works.

In this circuits instructional activity, students answer eight questions about different types of circuits, grounding cables to reduce electric shock, circuit breakers and locking and tagging a disconnect device.

Students construct a simple generator.  In this electromagnetism lesson students divide into groups and perform the experiments on the given sheet. 

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...

Students describe an electrical current and the factors that determine the resistance of an object.  In this electrical current lesson students discuss their knowledge of voltage, current and resistance.

What are electric motors? Discover how electric motors work, learn about AC and DC motors, and find out their many uses.
