This site provides links to a variety of government-sponsored overviews and articles on electromagnetic fields and their associated health risks.

College-level textbook highlighting the interaction of electromagnetic fields with media in motion. Types of electromechanical interactions discussed include rotating machinery, plasma dynamics, the electromechanics of biological...

You will learn about a voltaic battery and to see if it's powerful enough to light up a light bulb

In this activity, students make a battery using different fruits and vegetables, a copper penny, and a zinc washer. They use a voltage probe to collect data on voltage and compare the values of different batteries.

This article discusses the properties of electromagnetic radiation and photons.

This very simple, but effective generator shows in a wonderfully engaging way the fundamentals of electricity generation. The generator is made from a coil of wire wound around the outside of a plastic 35mm-film can. The two coil ends...

In this experiment, students experience the Curie point--and what happens when a piece of iron gets too hot to attract a magnet.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Covers the discovery of electromagnetism, how it relates to electricity, and Faraday's law.

An electromagnetic induction model that simulates an electric generator made from a conducting loop rotating in a uniform magnetic field and connected to an ammeter.

Spanish-language site lets students discover the life and work of this physicist and engineer, who is known for his studies of electric charges.

Read about all the different kinds of potential and kinetic energy. Includes energy formulas and examples of energy applications.

The Discovery Channel provides numerous topics that are the most popular science topics taught in upper elementary and middle school. Content is organized by topics (Bacteria, Oceans, Solar System, etc.); all topics include quick facts,...

Students can use these simulations to understand concepts in electromagnetism. Simulations are available on the following concepts: Lorentz Force, The Hall Effect, capacitor, conductor, transistor, cyclotron, static electricity....

This is a sample lesson on electromagnetism. It includes animated diagrams, interactive exercises, an audio option for reading the text, and comprehension questions throughout where students can type their answers or pick from...

One of the "Episodes in Romantic Science," this is as complete as a biography gets without being a book. Includes great information about Oersted and his electromagnetic work, The definitive source. Heavily footnoted with many additional...

Explore the world of vectors, by finding answers to questions like what are vectors, what are scalars, what is the difference between scalar and vectors, the magnitude of a vector, operations on vectors, and properties of a vector.

An atom smasher, or particle accelerator, collides atomic nuclei together at extremely high energies, using engineering that exploits incredibly cold temperatures, very low air pressure, and hyperbolically fast speeds. Don Lincoln...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Provides the definition of an electromagnetic wave, electromagnetic radiation, and electric and magnetic fields. Also discusses how electromagnetic waves begin,...

Contains brief biographical information on Michael Faraday, as well as the text of the following lectures delivered by Faraday: The Force of Gravitation, Gravitation-Cohesion, Cohesion-Chemical Affinity, Chemical Affinity-Heat,...

This activity will have students creating their own speaker with a paper cup, coil of wire, and magnet. The speaker operates by changing electric current into sound.

This lab is designed to have students look at the deflection of a cathode ray beam using magnetic fields and electric fields.

Text and animated graphic show how lightning is an example of a natural capacitor.

Students face a game-like challenge to use electrostatic forces to move a charged puck into a goal. By placing charges on the rink, a charged puck can be attracted and repelled around obstacles and into a goal.
