What do electrical currents have to do with an MRI? Using a simple wire setup and a magnet, class members explore forces used in an MRI by investigating the magnetic force acting on a wire carrying a current. 

In this electrical worksheet, learners answer a series of 17 questions about electrical shock and electrical safety. This worksheet is printable and the answers are available on-line.

In this electricity worksheet, students are assessed given 29 schematics and a competency for each schematic. They find either the conditions found in each schematic, the parameters of the schematic or give an analysis of the schematic...

In this measuring current worksheet, learners determine where the switch should be placed in a circuit and how the current at one point in a circuit compares to other points in the circuit. Students also draw diagrams of an ammeter and...

Have you ever wanted to build a conductor? Here is a lesson that takes pupils through building a conductor based on Drude's model in order to better understand electricity.

Some things are hard to resist. Small collaborative groups build circuits and calculate the voltage using Ohm's Law. Budding engineers explore the connection between the voltage across different resistors and linear...

Rise and shine! Class members collaborate to construct a photovoltaic solar cell with two semiconductor layers, as guided by this fabulous lab sheet. They test its output with an ammeter or galvanometer. 

Information on the biomedical use of nanotechnology, specifically in the detection and treatment of cancer, is the focus of a lesson that seems like it is out of a science fiction novel. Pupils learn about electrophoresis, which is used...

For this electricity worksheet, students compare open and closed circuits, calculate voltage, and determine total resistance is resistors are parallel or series in a circuit. This worksheet has 19 problems to solve.

Following this procedure, eager engineers construct a working model of a piston system, similar to that in an internal combustion engine. Perfect for STEM or automotive technology classes, the activity comes complete with analysis and...

In this circuits an Ohm's Law worksheet, students read about the differences between series and parallel circuits. They are given Ohm's Law and the definitions of current, voltage and resistance. Students match variables with their...

In this DC circuits worksheet, students are assessed given 31 schematics of DC circuits and they determine the given conditions, the parameters and an analysis of each.

In this energy worksheet, students click on the links in the questions about energy to find the answers to the questions about their personal energy use and then come back and answer the questions. Students answer 3 questions total.

In this emission spectra worksheet, students use a spectroscope to observe three types of spectra. These include continuous spectrum, emission spectrum and absorption spectrum.

With rising oil prices and increasing concerns over global warming, the pressure is on for engineers to develop alternative sources of energy. Among the new technologies being developed are hydrogen fuel cells, which young scientists...
