Teacher's notes, a materials list, detailed procedure, tips, and extension ideas are all included to make teaching this lesson on photovoltaic cells a sunny spot in your day! After some brief background reading, physical science...

In this electric circuits activity, students review Ohm's law, the two types of electric circuits, and how electrical power is measured. This activity has 15 fill in the blank questions.

Students determine that moving charges create a magnetic field. They discover that the speed and direction of motion, the amount of charge, and the deflection angle observed are closely linked. A voltmeter, pendulum, and a constructed...

Basically walk your early electronics techs through the vocabulary relating to an electronic circuit. Give them an LED light, a resistor, a battery, and some clips, then have them construct a simple circuit. Specific electronic equipment...

We can see the result of electricity  but not the process itself. The simulation compares electric circuits to a water tower and water wheel cycle. Young scientists adjust the height of the tower, the amount of resistance, and if...

Students explore the properties of electricity. This lab shows students the need for a circuit in order to have a flow of electricity. It demonstrates Ohm's law, which relates voltage, current, and resistance.

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.

For this circuits worksheet, students read how electricity flows through circuits and learn how to draw a circuit diagram. Students then complete 16 matching, 2 multiple choice, 14 fill in the blank, and 3 short answer questions.

In this circuit worksheet students build their own circuit and complete several short answer questions on different amp circuits. 

In this environment worksheet, students read an article about extreme weather conditions and mapping it out. They respond to 10 multiple choice questions about what they read. Then, students explain how droughts can occur and the...

Students investigate electricity. In this Physics lesson plan, students experiment with insulators and conductors of electricity. Students use batteries as the energy source for the experiment.

Help your class find the the magnetic field of a toroid, a solenoid bent into a circle with an activity that allows the class to see how a loop of wire carrying an electrical charge behaves much like a magnet. The resource provides...

Students investigate the relationship between voltage and current. In this physics lesson, students observe and collect data from the experiment. They graph the result and share them to class.

Students explain the meaning of Ohm's Law, and plot a graph of voltage versus current, by explaining how the slope is the resistance of the circuit.

Students study the relationship between current, voltage and resistance in a series circuit.  In this investigative lesson students watch a demonstration and see how voltage is measured and see what OHM's law is.   

In this electricity worksheet, high schoolers determine if the circuits shown are parallel or series, calculate the voltage, and the power used by the light bulbs. This worksheet has 11 problems to solve.

Shocking! Who knew so many great ideas existed for teaching middle schoolers about electricity? Find them all within this energetic framework. You'll light up at the variety of printable and web-based resources within! After building...

Don't know how to make the initial connection on electric circuits? This instructional activity provides the background to present the introductory vocabulary to learning about electric circuits. It is organized in a meaningful...

In a series of activities, high schoolers research and compare batteries of different chemistries (such as nickel-cadmium), measure current and voltage, and use multimeters and math to compute their capacities. In the end, they try to...

Resistance is not futile, it is voltage divided by current. A creative simulation presents a wire graphic and allows participants to alter the area, length, and resistivity. As scholars increase or decrease a variable within the...

In this electricity activity, students read about how electricity flows and the force that causes the flow. Students read about electric shock and then complete 3 short answer questions.
