Attracted class members to an activity-packed journey through the science behind the invisible forces at work all around us. From jump rope generators to junkyard wars, there's never a dull moment when eighth grade physics scholars...

Students explore meteorology, discuss Earth's atmosphere, create drawings of the water cycle, create meteorology journals, and role play forecasters. Nine lessons on one page; includes unit test.

There are only 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary and those who don't. The lesson includes four activities in which students learn binary, convert binary to images, understand CCD arrays, and interpret...

Students investigate how to find the density of fluids and solids using math. Students also learn how to find the density of regular and irregular shaped objects.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Describes what electric charge and electric force are and the electric forces between charged particles.

This lesson focuses on electric charges. Electric current is the flow of electric charge. Some insulating materials become electrically charged when they are rubbed together. A substance that gains electrons becomes negatively charged,...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Discusses electric charge and electric force, and identifies ways that electric charge is transferred.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Transfer of electric charge: transfer of electrons, conservation of charge and three ways electric charge can be transferred.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] For this lesson, students learn about electric charges, and how the law of charges determines whether charges repel or attract each other. They will also learn how...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] This lesson examines how moving electric charges are affected when inside a magnetic field. Students are shown how to calculate the force on a single moving electric...

In this tutorial the concept of how electrical energy is transformed is introduced. Learn how electric charges actually work and take the interactive quiz to assess your understanding.

Understand how to electrically charge an object by friction with this detailed description. Classrooms will benefit by extending the lesson with the interactive opportunity and follow up for comprehension with the "Check Your...

Learners investigate electric forces. Some topics examined are conductors, Coulomb?s law, and net electrical charge. The resource includes example problems with solutions and a chapter quiz.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Discusses electric charge and electric force, and identifies ways that electric charge is transferred.

In this learning module from The Concord Consortium, students will learn how to figure out whether an object has a positive or negative charge.

In this learning module from The Concord Consortium, students will will explore how uncharged objects interact with charged objects.

How do objects become grounded? Probe into the science behind "grounding" objects by removing an electric charge. Explore the Charge Interactive and test understanding with the three follow-up questions.

This interactive tutorial teaches students about he reasons for why charge flows through wires of electric circuits and the variables that affect the rate at which it flows. Students can take the interactive quiz to assess what they have...

In this interactive students will explore the strength of an electric field in the space surrounding a source charge. It is related directly to the quantity of charge on the source charge and inversely to the distance from the source...

In this learning module, students will observe interactions between objects, including objects with electric charges to identify patterns in how things interact.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Explains what electric current and voltage are and why electric current occurs.

It might sound like science fiction, but if you press on a crystal of sugar, it will actually generate its own electricity. Ashwini Bharathula explains how piezoelectric materials turn mechanical stress, like pressure, sound waves and...

This unit teaches students the foundations of electrical circuits and introduces them to their simplest components. Covers series and parallel circuits, Kirchhoff's Rules, Ohm's Law, RC circuits, resistivity, and capacitance.
