Circuits and Conductors

To prepare for the activity, STEM classes read about nanotechnology and the amazing properties of graphene. They collect a graphene sample from pencils, and then connect them into simple circuits to determine whether it makes a better...

In a classic activity, emerging electricians test various objects for electrical conductivity in a circuit. Each group constructs a simple circuit by following a diagram. Predictions are made and objects are inserted into the circuit,...

A great lesson introduces your youngsters to electricity. They use internet links, streaming video, and engage in hands-on activities to understand what electricity is and how it works. They build a circuit board, and construct a variety...

Fourth graders investigate the concepts of circuits and conductors. In this circuits and conductors instructional activity set, 4th graders watch demonstrations of circuits and look at images to identify whether they are complete...

For this electricity worksheet, students examine 6 pictures of electrical circuits attached to a light bulb. They write if the light bulb would be off, glowing dimly, glowing normally, or glowing brightly in each circumstance.

Set to upbeat instrumental background music, eight slides present pictures of electrical wires, batteries, and appliances, Each slide is accompanied by a few sentences that introduce viewers to concepts related to current electricity....

Through inquiry and exploration, 4th graders will learn and understand the functions of open and closed circuits. They will break into 2 groups, define vocabulary, hypothesize how to light a bulb, then test their hypothesis 4 different...

A sleepy-sounding narrator explains how batteries and circuits work. Simple computer animations display the movement of electrons through parallel and series circuits. Since the narrator speaks slowly and clearly, and the animations are...

What makes this lesson great is its hands on activities. Pupils not only learn about how an electrical circuit words, they make one. After having investigated how circuits work, they talk about how to conserve electricity. They also...

Students identify liquids as conductors. In this circuits lesson plan, students build a circuit, then use various liquids to complete the circuit, and determine which liquids successfully conduct electricity.
