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.

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

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...

Students conduct a series of experiments on electricity. In this physics lesson, students study the work of Alessandro Volta particularly his experiment on the the Voltaic Pail. They build their own Voltaic Pile to recreate his experiment.

Students study the development of batteries. In this electrochemistry lesson, students compare the different types of batteries. They explore its applications especially in the medical field.

Learners study how the first electric light was made and the history behind it.  In this electricity lesson students create their own light bulb.

Students define the term static electricity and how to it.  For this electricity lesson students design and implement an experiment to show how static electricity affects their daily lives.
