Learners study what electricity can do and what some of the associated dangers are.

Fourth graders investigate complete and incomplete circuits. Using an electrical kit that includes a D-cell battery, wiring, and a flashlight bulb, they construct a complete electric circuit that will light the light bulb. Students...

Students construct a simple electrical circuit. In this electrical circuit lesson, students use a cell battery, bulb, and wire to construct a simple circuit. Students read about switches, circuits, and electricity in Electro Wiz...

In this introduction to electricity worksheet, students define several key terms related to electricity. Students list examples of conductors and insulators in a chart. Students create insulators using given materials and describe the...

In this electric eels worksheet, students read about the special muscle cells called electroplaques found in electric eels. Then students complete 3 short answer questions.

In this electricity learning exercise, 3rd graders read about static electricity before completing an experiment with a pen and a piece of wool cloth. They follow the steps to the experiment and record what happens along the way.

Learners examine why electricity is distributed at high voltage and the functions of transformers.  In this electromagnetism lesson plan students study at what frequency electricity is distributed. 

In this science instructional activity, 4th graders take a multiple choice quiz about the weather, moon, electricity, and more. Students complete 15 questions total.

Students review and discuss how Solar energy and electricity produce light and heat. They create a photo/picture journal and include pictures taken during solar energy activities to a PowerPoint slide presentation.

Students explore electricity and magnetism. Through the use of role play, students simulate being a scientist. Experiments are performed during the simulation to discover the relationship between electric current and magnetism. After...

In this electrical circuits worksheet, learners read a text and examine a diagram to learn the parts of a simple electric circuit. Students then answer 6 questions about electrical circuits. This is an online interactive worksheet.

In this electricity worksheet, students study the circuit diagram color the light bulb yellow and tick the box if they think there is electricity for that example. Students cross out the boxes with no electricity current.

Students explore electrical energy. In this electricity instructional activity, students design and build a large circuit in order to determine whether circuit size correlates with the light of a bulb.

Students create a 3D vector field map of an electric field. In this physics lesson, students measure the voltage inside an aquarium with water. They present their findings and map to class..

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.

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

In this electricity and circuits worksheet, students read a 2 page article, answer 5 questions with multiple choice answers and read 10 statements and determine if they are true or false.

Students create working circuits. In this electricity and circuits lesson, students make a battery, then build a flashlight and use part of the flashlight to create a conductivity tester.

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

In this electric circuits worksheet, students follow the directions to construct an electric quiz board. When the correct answer in one column is matched with the question in another, the light bulb will light up.

Students explore parallel and series circuits. In this electrical circuit lesson, students  investigate the differences between series and parallel circuits.  Students observe the benefits and drawbacks of series and parallel...

Students engage in a instructional activity that is concerned with the concept of static electricity. They conduct an experiment with balloons and make observations of how it works. The data is collected and written down and they define...

Learners investigate the concept of electricity and how to build a circuit. They identify the presence of heat, light, sound, and the magnetic effects. Students construct the circuit and draw a diagram that gives directions for its...

Young scholars complete Internet research and use their map reading skills to learn about how the United States creates and uses electricity in different states. In this energy sources lesson, students study the mini map of energy...
