Electricity/Magnetism
Fourth graders explore magnets as fundamental parts of generators and how they are used to produce current electricity. They distinguish between the north and south pole of magnets and the difference between repel and attract. Students...
Curated OER
Electricity
Students examine basic electrical components. They build a simple electrical circuit which rings a buzzer. They experiment with conducting and nonconducting materials.
Curated OER
Electricity
First graders become aware of the presence of static electricity. They create static electricity using friction.
Curated OER
Electricity Layered Curriculum
Students describe how electric charges exert forces on each other as well as compare the strengths of electric and gravitational forces. They distinguish between conductors and insulators. In addition, students examine voltage and...
Curated OER
Electricity
Middle schoolers watch instructor present demonstrations of the basic principles of static electricity, and then conduct some of their own experiments. In small groups, students build simple circuits, using batteries, to try to light up...
Curated OER
Electricity Safety
Third graders explore electricity safety. In this science lesson, 3rd graders read a story about an electrical outage. Students discuss if various situations shown are safe or unsafe.
Curated OER
How Powerful is Static Electricity
Learners explore energy by participating in controlled electricity experiment. In this static electricity instructional activity, students identify the different sources that can create energy and how static electricity can be created...
Curated OER
Electricity: A Friend, a Foe
Students study what electricity can do and what some of the associated dangers are.
