Fifth graders explore further the importance of static electricity by playing a game which reinforces and reviews static electricity concepts.

Fifth graders discover the differences between parallel and series circuits. They draw and construct the two types of circuits using wires, bulbs, batteries, sockets, and switches.

First graders become aware of the presence of static electricity. They create static electricity using friction.

Learners establish an understanding of electricity and then demonstate that understanding by creating a basic experiment involving a lemon battery. They reflect on the importance of electricity.

Students examine basic electrical components. They build a simple electrical circuit which rings a buzzer. They experiment with conducting and nonconducting materials.

Learners are introduced to the realm and power of inventions, and help them to better recognize their impact on people and society.

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

Students reinforce the concept that static electricity is a phenomenon that involves positive and negative charges.

Middle schoolers explain concepts related to static electricity, based on a single example: lightning.

Students experiment with a Leyden Jar, a device that stores electrical charges. A large voltage can be built up in this jar by adding more and more charge. The modern name for this device is a capacitor.

Students explore basic principles of electricity and create their own battery.

Young scholars examine the functionality of different types of computer memory (RAM) as a springboard to researching the definitions, uses and functions of different common computer terms. The class creates a computer terminology guide.
