Students draw different electrical circuit symbols. In this electricity lesson, students construct simple circuits based on circuit diagrams. They share their findings to class.

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.

Students examine electricity, what its uses are and how it works.  In this exploring electricity lesson students study voltage, resistance, current and OHM's law. 

Students explain how electrical charges behave. In this electricity instructional activity, students determine how far away lightning is when it strikes. They research how fabric softener reduces static electricity and share their...

Ninth graders explain how wind can produce electricity. For this geometry lesson, 9th graders construct their own pin wheel turbine and calculate its power. They discuss the pros and cons of using wind generator.

Fifth graders create a timeline of the most important dates and events involved in the history of electricity. Each student researches one scientist and designs and illustrates a piece of a poster board for the timeline.

Students determine appropriate responses to electrical emergency situations such as a downed power line. They examine an image of a fallen power line before discussing reasons that a line might be down and how to handle the situation....

Eighth graders participate in various demonstrations on electricity. In this physics lesson, 8th graders explore static and current electricity. They apply concepts to real world situations.

Students study how electricity is used in Utah. They create an advertising plan to educate consumers about peak cycles and energy costs for the cycling service of electricity. They present their advertising plan to the class for...

Learners complete an experiment about static electricity. They are provided with a small plate that has gelatin and then given a small balloon. Students put the balloon above the gelatin and observe what happens, and then slowly raise...

Fourth graders develop an understanding of static electricity and discover how to detect a charge by using electroscopes.  In this electricity lesson, 4th graders complete a lab on electricity and discuss the results with the...

Students study the concept of magnetic and electric field.  In this magnetic lesson students participate in a lab using magnets.

Eighth graders discover how electricity is produced. In this physics lesson, 8th graders infer about the future of Mississippi's energy industry. They participate in a Smart Board interactive activity at the end of the lesson.

Students study electricity by making their own light sculptures. In this light sculptures lesson, students review electrical loops and circuitry components. Students then plan, create, and refine light sculptures.

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.

Learners practice using vocabulary associated with an electric bill. They conjugate verbs into the different tenses. They participate in a role-play in which they practice pronouncing the words.

Learners examine how they use batteries, then read a news article about how cars are being designed to use batteries. In this current events lesson, the teacher introduces the article with a discussion and vocabulary activity, then...

Physical science or technology classes will be invigorated by this challenge: to convert a toy, game, or other device to run on solar power. In doing so, they will design the appropriate solar arrays. This is an A+ lesson, complete...

A bright future learning about electricity awaits. Future scientists conduct two probes to investigate electrical energy. The first requires them to think about how electricity is made, while the second has them identify appliances that...

It's time to get moving! The 13th lesson in a 14-part unit on electricity and magnetism explores the relationship between electricity and mechanical energy. Budding scientists build motors and experiment with different components to...

What does it mean to be resistant to electricity? Scholars answer the question in a six-part STEM lesson on electricity. They begin by assessing the conductivity of several different materials and progress to designing their own circuits...

It's pass or fail, and one must pass to move on to the next lesson—no pressure. The second of seven installments in the Off the Grid unit has pupils demonstrate their knowledge of vocabulary as well as the process of using a multimeter....

Provide the spark to foster a love of science. Instructors perform a demonstration that uses a camping stove to generate electricity to charge a phone. Pupils use data from the experiment to the calculate the efficiency of the stove....

The lights don't always go out when the switch is flipped. The 10th lesson in a series of 14 helps learners build a conceptual understanding of the flow of electricity through a parallel circuit. They then build their own parallel...
