Young scholars produce copper metal by electrolysis. In this REDOX lesson plan, students use a copper (II) chloride solution and a 9 volt battery to produce copper metal through an electrolysis reaction. Young scholars make observations...

For this batteries worksheet, students read about how batteries work and the types of batteries. They answer three critical thinking questions about batteries and their use as alternate-fuel sources.

In this thunderstorm worksheet, students read about thunder and lightning and the forces behind both. They also read about the timing difference between thunder and lightning. Students answer three critical thinking questions about...

In this conductivity learning exercise, students answer post lab questions about substances that transferred electrons resulting in electricity flowing through the conductivity leads use to test each substance.

In this chemistry worksheet, students learn about atoms and static electricity. They read about these topics and then use what they learned to answer the 11 questions on the page. The answers are on the last page of the packet.

Students break up into groups to complete a demonstration rubbing a balloon in hair make their hair stand up. Thus, they conclude static electricity. They also experiment with a paper station, ping pong station and a water station...

Students view a segment of "Electricity's Power," they focus on the professions- lightning researcher, scientist specializing in electricity in space, and a lineman. They choose one profession, students explore and investigate about the...

Students identify various electrical equipment and safety signs and the importance and dangers associated with each. They use cards of power equipment and create a presentation that includes the name of the power equipment that they...

Students, after brainstorming how we interact with some kind of motor every day in our lives, explore how to build their own DC motor. They collect all the parts needed for their experiment and review all safety precautions. In addition,...

Students create a list of things that they do with electrical power. They then are shown a PowerPoint on "Basic Electrical Safety." Students evaluate electrical equipment, cords and situations for serviceability and safety problems. They...

Students are able to answer basic questions about the process of turning light energy into electrical energy. They are introduced to the basic physics and chemistry behind the operation of a solar cell. Students explore how a single...

Learners are able to use inquiry to answer the essential questions. They are able to predict and test configurations of a battery, bulb, and wire that make the complete circuit. Students craft a group and individual theory of a...

Students discover that charge movement through a circuit depends on the resistance and arrangement of the circuit components. In a hands-on activity, students build and investigate the characteristics of series circuits. In another...

Students gain an understanding of the difference between electrical conductors and insulators, and experience recognizing a conductor by its material properties. They build a conductivity tester to determine whether different objects are...

High schoolers work to increase the intensity of a light bulb by testing batteries in series and parallel circuits. They analyze Ohm's Law, power, parallel and series circuits, and ways to measure voltage and current.

Learners use video learning and construct electromagnets and use them to collect data, graph, and share with others.

Fifth graders examine the importance of electricity to their everyday lives, practice plotting and interpreting data on a bar graph, and reflect in their journals about how their lives would change without electricity.

Fifth graders, after completing a K-W-L-H Chart on electricity, discuss and illustrate the four ways lightening can move.

Students conduct various experiments to explore the concepts that static electricity is the cause of lightning.

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...

Pupils participate in an interactive demo using the Wimhurst generator. In this physics lesson plan, students draw the charge distribution in the pith ball. They explain how they acquire charges without actually touching the generator.

Young scholars investigate the way an electrical circuit works. In this physics lesson plan, students use voltmeters and ammeters to measure voltage. They construct a circuit using provided circuit kits.

Students experiment with a series of circuits. In this chemistry activity, students discuss voltage, resistance and current as they flow through an electrical circuit. They work in pairs to solve the questions.

Students identify the relationship between batteries, circuits and voltage. In this physics lesson, students investigate the way batteries are put into different apparatus. They discuss why different machinery need different voltage of...
