More than a dozen websites and apps that kids and high school students can use to explore electricity and magnetism. They include interactive games, lessons, experiments, videos, and projects.
Celebrate National Static Electricity Day on January 9th with electrifying activities and experiments.
Build your own circuits using an interactive wire diagram. Then see the real-world components of your completed diagrams in action. Components include wires, switches, batteries, motors, light bulbs, buzzers, resistors, variable resistors, and ammeters. The bottom row of icons lets…
The Changing Circuits interactive is a review of simple circuits for students in grades 3-5 Experiment with different devices that can be placed on an electrical circuit, such as light bulbs, switches, wires and batteries. Learn how they are drawn…
Learn the symbols that represent parts of a circuit and use them to build a circuit. See if you can identify a correctly built circuit, and the parts of a circuit a diagram represents.
This circuits and conductors interactive electricity game and quiz is designed for kids ages 8-9. Find different ways to make a circuit, and what materials make good conductors.
From site: This web site is devoted to magnetism and the cool experiments you can do with permanent magnets and electro-magnets. Some of the experiments are very basic – things you’ve done since second grade. Others are unique; perhaps you…
This series of magnetism experiments provides kids with with several fun activities. Build a magnetic field that’s stronger than the Earth’s. Create an electromagnetic pendulum. Create eddy-like currents of magnetism and explore what happens to magnets dropped in them. Lots…
This is a series of experiments with electricity and magnets designed for 4th graders. They can be used to build experience so the students have some understanding of charges, electrostatic forces, circuits, magnets, electromagnets, and electric motors.
From site: These pages deal with electric circuits, electrical energy, electrical energy production and electrical energy transmission. More specifically: We press a switch and we turn the lights on. How is this possible to be happening? Let’s construct a simple…
