Making observations and collecting qualitative and quantitative data is a vital skill all scientists need to practice. Help your scientists with partial and no sight learn how to use their other senses to make observations for...

Magnets are a source of amazement for young learners. It seems like magic the way they can attract certain things. This worksheet gives some background on which materials can be attracted to a magnet. Then, learners must circle the words...

Learners describe the types and parts of a circuit. They discover three types of electrical switches and create a chart showing the many uses for each type of switch.

Pupils explore the fundamental concepts of electricity. They examine different circuit diagrams to study how electricity flows. They finish by creating their own simple circuit.

Students watch instructor present demonstrations of the basic principles of static electricity, and then conduct some of their own experiments. In small groups, students build simple circuits, using batteries, to try to light up a light...

Students assess how to employ simple logic in digital circuits and are introduced to Boolean algebra. They divide up into groups and are given several key ingredients to practice and differentiate different types of logic gates.

Make science come in loud and clear. Pupils learn about how a speaker works by building one. The scholars first learn about electromagnetic fields by building an electromagnet. Using that knowledge, they build a crude speaker using a...

Students investigate what causes electrical circuits to work. They construct a wire circuit and pass a paperclip through the maze, trying not to touch the wire, and answer discussion questions.

In this measuring current worksheet, students determine where the switch should be placed in a circuit and how the current at one point in a circuit compares to other points in the circuit. Students also draw diagrams of an ammeter and...

Learners model the flow of electrons in a circuit, draw diagrams of an electric circuit and build an electric circuit. Students explain how to tell when the path of an electric circuit is complete, and test the conductivity of a variety...
