This activity is a classroom and lab investigation of magnetism. Students gather results of experiments involving the forces of magnets. They use this data to develop their own experiments to test properties of magnets.

Play with a bar magnet and coils to learn about Faraday's law. Move a bar magnet near one or two coils to make a light bulb glow. View the magnetic field lines. A meter shows the direction and magnitude of the current. View the magnetic field lines or use a meter to show the direction and magnitude of the current. You can also play with electromagnets, generators and transformers!

This activity is a lab where the students try to make a lightbulb light up using two wires, a battery and a lightbulb.

This is a guided inquiry in which the students determine how a light bulb works.

This activity is a guided demonstration where students create light up quiz boards to demonstrate electricity vocabulary.

Students will act out open and closed circuits and is followed by individual journal writing and a class discussion.

This activity is an inquiry where students will design an electrolytic cell that produces work in the form of lighting a bulb.

This activity is a indoor lab where students investigate the current differences in different circuits where students build a small house and construct different types of circuits.

This activity is a group lab activity where students explore beginning electrical circuits.

In this lab, the students will test a variety of materials to discover which items are conductors and which items are insulators. They will discuss, classify, record data, and develop new questions relating to electricity.

This activity is a guided inquiry investigation where students will propose a question on what makes an electromagnet stronger. They will conduct a controlled experiment to answer their own question.

After studying that iron is attracted to magnets, students will use magnets to extract food-grade iron filings from iron-fortified food.

This activity is a lab investigation where students work in groups to develop their own electromagnets.

This activity is a classroom lab in which students observe and investigate how magnets interact with each other and the objects around them.

This activity is an activity where students build a motor, learn motor operation and theory, interpret their understanding through troubleshooting, and develop a new, experimental question related to the motor. One follow-up activity would be coupling their motor to a fan blade or other axle to convert electrical energy to magnetic energy into mechanical motion for real world application.

This activity is a guided exploration of how static electricity works and how it relates to lightning.

This is a classroom activity where students create magnetic cats and see what occurs when the cats are placed next to each other. Students will be informally investigating magnetic attraction and repelling.

This activity is a hands on activity where students will gather information on their findings about iron in different cereals. Then use their finding and give reasonings of the differences and similarities.

This is an interactive powerpoint lecture on the science of electricity followed by a laboratory investigation where students dissect a disposable camera.
