In this electronics worksheet, students explore the properties of semiconductors to complete 17 short answer and problem solving questions.

Students experiment with transition metals.  In this transition metals lesson students find the common properties of transition metals and conduct an experiment using one of them.  Students then answer questions regarding what...

Adjust the melting time of ice without varying the temperature! Learners experiment with different materials to decide how the materials affect the rate an ice cube melts. They then connect their findings to the conductivity of each...

Your pupils can build their own electromagnet — awesome! The culminating activity in an eight-part series challenges groups to design and build their own electromagnet. The goal of the activity is to build a magnet capable of picking up...

It's a race to the finish! Which ice cube will melt the fastest? Scholars discover the effect thermal energy has on melting ice. They experiment with melting ice cubes on different materials and learn that even at a consistent...

Orange you glad you can make circuits using fruit? Young electricians learn about electric circuits and electricity. As part of the lesson, they build a circuit with an orange and then with a banana.

What constitutes a good soap bubble? In the second installment of a nine-part series, scholars apply their understanding of surface tension to soap bubbles. They experiment to determine the best solutions to use for the...

I need something to test. The three sessions in this instructional activity have individuals build and test a prototype of their design. The first two sessions are devoted to prepping for the prototype by drawing up specifications and...
