Students explore simple circuitry. They compare four models of circuits and explain how each works. Students contrast the cyclic cequential and cyclic simultaneous models using a shower curtain illustration and software simulation.

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

In this electricity activity, students complete 4 activities where they draw diagrams and answer short answer questions by researching electrical circuits.

Pupils discover different types of energy. In this energy source lesson students compare different types of energy, renewable and nonrenewable. Pupils answer questions about the different types of energy and their impact on the environment.

Learners study electricity by making their own light sculptures. In this light sculptures lesson, students review electrical loops and circuitry components. Learners then plan, create, and refine light sculptures.

In this electrical energy worksheet, students write in 3 causes and effects of electrical energy. This worksheet is a graphic organizer.

In this energy word search puzzle, middle schoolers identify types of energy and related terms. They identify 18 words from a given list. An answer sheet is provided.

Students investigate the concept of energy and focus upon the usage and the cost associated with it. They conduct research using a variety of resources while working in cooperative groups. Students graph the usage of energy as estimates...

Students, after being introduced to an overview of the hazards of electricity at the workplace, view a power point presentation involving the four types of injuries that could result from contact with electricity: electrocution or death,...

Learners explore hazards of both electricity and natural gas when they are not properly handled. Students investigate the real-world hazards electricity and natural gas present. They participate in a simulation that illustrates the flow...

Students practice real life problem solving and rounding skills. They determine the amount of coal used each year by a family of four to opertate all of their electrical appliances.

Students investigate Ohm's Law. Through experimentation, students observe Ohm's law. Using the voltage and resistance, students calculate with Ohm's law. Students collaborate in other activities to apply Ohm's Law to series and...

Students predict the common classroom items, such as paper clips, chalk, keys, or erasers, that will be good conductors in a circuit. They build circuits using a variety of circuit diagrams to test their predictions.

Students explore how a switch can be used to break a circut. Students construct a simple series circuit and use it for a purpose. Students read the "The Lighthouse Keeper's Lunch,or one of the "Katie Morag" stories which clearly shows...

Students calculate the resistance across a bank of resistors in a series, parallel and combined circuit. Using new vocabulary words, they define and describe them in a scientific manner. After stating Ohm's Law, they solve electrical...

Students examine static and current electricity, and discuss what their lives would be like without electricity. They listen to a teacher-led lecture about electrons and atoms, and explore static electricity using a comb or a balloon...

Learners are given a history of electricity and its development into the modern age lifeline upon which we so depend. The methods of power generation are introduced, and further discussion of each technology's pros and cons follows. ...

Young scholars explore circuit boards. They determine that a complete circuit is needed to light the bulbs, experiment with the boards to develop strategies for finding where the hidden connections are, and develop strategies that can be...

Students will make a circuit on a mystery card. They will connect wires, bulbs, and battery to form an electrical tester. After students learn how to make one following the directions, they can create their own mystery card by...

Students make a circuit on a mystery card. They then use an electrical tester to determine where electricity flows between circles on the card. They will connect wires, bulbs, and a battery to form an electrical tester.

Learners test their knowledge of electrical conductors and circuits by constructing an electric tester and using it to determine where electricity flows between circles on a mystery card.

Students participate in an online lesson to explain the conductivity of different materials and the effect of changing the power source.
