Electrons on the Move

In lab groups, young scientists place aluminum cans with a bubble-solution cap into different temperatures of water to see what size of bubble dome forms. As part of an atmosphere unit in preparation for learning about convection...

Trace pollutants through the environment in the seventh lesson of this series on the science of food. Looking at a picture of the plants and animals in an aquatic ecosystem, learners use dot stickers to represent harmful chemicals as...

Walk your class through the journey water takes once it leaves your kitchen sink, all the way through the water cycle. Demonstrations support your lecture. This plan is thoroughly written, but ideally you would follow it up with water...

Students act out different types of circuits, and create their own circuits using wire, a bulb, a battery and a switch.

Students create lightning with two common objects and observe the colorful "discharge" of electrons on a smaller scale. By exploring the phenomena of static electricity, students relate their knowledge to the real-life weather phenomena...

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....

Students engage in a lesson that is concerned with the concept of static electricity. They conduct an experiment with balloons and make observations of how it works. The data is collected and written down and they define positive,...

In this comprehension worksheet, students fill in ways on a graphic organizer that people or companies can conserve energy, reduce waste or minimize the impact to the environment. Next, students solve 3 "environmental" math word problems.

Students explore electricity. For this Physics lesson, students investigate the origin of static electricity. Students compare static electricity to current electricity.

Students view a static electricity demonstration. In this Physics activity, students compare static and current electricity. Students watch an electricity slide show and sing the Electricity song.
