Students examine the basic ideas of conductors and insulators. For this electricity lesson, students predict which items will work as insulators or conductors when contact is made with a lightning globe. The students evaluate what they...

Students identify hypotheses related to static electricity, to begin to test the hypotheses, to begin to develop conclusions related to observations, to demonstrate that like charges repel and unlike charges attract each other, to name...

Students examine the different types of electric motors including their history and classification.  In this motor instructional activity students complete several experiments with different motors.

Students distinguish between items with and without energy. In this energy lesson, students understand that natural resources power electrical apparatus and that energy needs to be saved.

Students explore energy conversions by demonstrating the conversion of electrical energy into light, heat, sound, and magnetic energy. Students create a simple device that converts electrical energy from batteries to heat, light, sound...

Students study different motors and how they convert electrical energy to mechanical energy.  In this motor lesson students make a model of an electric motor and examine how it can be used to do work.

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

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

Fourth graders explore electricity and electrical circuits. They explore series and parallel circuits using Christmas lights. Students pull lights out of each strand of lights. They observe the results when the light bulb is pulled out....
