Electricity/Magnetism

Students identify and work to eliminate electrical safety hazards in the home. They identify items that use electricity. Students use a fishing game that allows students to cut pictures of items from magazine; glue the items on the 3" x...

After reading a short paragraph about metals and magnets, young scientists circle the things they think will be attracted by a magnet. There are six objects for them to consider. A nice worksheet to help get a discussion on magnets and...

Create a unit about types of interactions that your class will be attracted to! Delve into Next Generation Science Standard PS2B with a thought-provoking video. The narrator explains how to present interactions in elementary,...

Students sort objects based on magnetism. In this magnetism lesson, students are given a variety of objects, then predict whether the object will be attracted to a magnet and test their hypothesis as they sort the objects into "yes" and...

Cling to a lesson on static electricity. Pupils take part in experiments where they see how paper from hole punchers, packing peanuts, puffed rice cereal, and other items react when placed near a rubbed balloon. They learn how electrons...

In this fun lab activity, students will learn about the attraction and repulsion of magnets. Students will discover that like poles repel while unlike poles attract.

This site offers a wealth of online textbook-related materials that encourage the discovery of science in the world around us. Enter the site to access material on specific topics. Each section contains reading material (complete with...

In this classroom activity, the learners will investigate the magnetic pull of a bar magnet at varying distances with the use of paper clips. Students will hypothesize, conduct the experiment, collect the data, and draw conclusions that...

What is magnetism? Learn about magnetic domains, how magnets attract or repel, magnetic materials, electromagnets and their uses, and the history of magnets.

During this lesson learners will examine magnets and determine that they have two poles (north and south). They will observe which poles attract and which poles repel.
