A POSITIVELY NEGATIVE EXPERIENCE

Conduct four electrifying electricity experiments that challenge young scientists to explore positive and negative charges and magnetic fields without the shock.

Young electrical engineers use balloons, cereal, and PVC pipe to test how positive or negative charged particles can attract or repel each other. First they attract Rice Krispies with a static-charged balloon, and then they use two...

Students examine distribution of water and minerals. In this surface and groundwater lesson, students conduct an experiment with fresh and salt water making hypothesis and drawing conclusions about minerals. 

Your teenagers may have heard of fracking, but do they really know what it is? And could they debate the benefits and risks? Educate your environmental science class with a lesson plan about hydraulic fracturing, non-renewable energy...

We all need a little feedback, both positive and negative! Take on one of the trickier Biology 1 concepts using a thoughtfully worded video from a fantastic biology playlist. The narrator explains both types of feedback with plenty of...

Use magnets, liquid nitrogen, and liquid oxygen in this quick experiment that illustrates paramagnetism and diamagnetism.

Looking for a quick way to supercharge your electricity and magnetism unit? Assign a very responsive interactive designed to illustrate the relationship between charge, electric field, and the resulting forces. Learners experiment with...

Can static electricity affect the direction that water flows? Watch this short clip and attempt this experiment with your young learners! For older learners, pair with additional activities that illustrate positive and negative charges.

Students study Benjamin Franklin including who he was, what he invented and his experiment.  For this inventive lesson students follow the steps of Ben Franklin and build a Leyden jar.

In this electron worksheet, students experiment with a balloon and their lab partner's hair. They determine if hair or the balloon releases electrons and they also determine which type of hair transfers electrons the best.
