[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students learn which subatomic particles contribute to static electricity, and determine the charge of an object based on what particles it has gained or lost.

Adjust the magnetic field in this simulation to see how the flow of electricity is affected.

[Free Registration/Login Required] The teacher will use this lesson plan flipchart to review circuits. This unit consolidates Children's knowledge of materials which are electrical conductors, extends understanding of ways in which the...

Through informational text, interactive activities, practice problems, and virtual simulations, students learn about the basic properties of electricity in this unit.

In this interactive activity from the NOVA Web site, animations explain different aspects of the properties of metal.

Learning about charge and forces of attraction will be keys to understanding electrostatics and the basis of this learning unit. Developing a greater understanding of charge and the charge model is necessary to understanding electricity.

[Free Registration/Login Required] In this lesson students learn the parts of a circuit, build series and parallel circuits, learn about insulators and conductors, and more in this interactive multimedia flipchart.

By comparing household electricity to household plumbing, this tutorial makes the concepts of electricity easier to understand. Includes video clips and interactive activities; click on "Instructional Strategies" for teacher resources...

A large complete authoritative biography of Coulomb. Five large pictures, over a dozen links to contemporaries, references, a poster, other mathematicians. A fine source.

In this hands-on activity, students construct a simple switch and determine what objects and what types of materials can be used to close a switch in a circuit and light a light bulb.

Instructions on how to build an instrument that can be used to test which materials are conductors and which are insulators, in order to bridge a gap in an electrical circuit.

Review the conservation of charge and how charge is transferred in various scenarios.

Find a review of many aspects of the physical world. Simple explanations of electricity, gravity, and the solar system. Included are materials for teachers to use for enrichment.

Students investigate several properties of the given elements and decide whether each element is a metal, non-metal, or a metalloid.

University of Delaware Physics Department provides this indexing page for a slide show presentation.

The University of Delaware Physics Department provides this site from a site titled "Silicon, Circuits, and the Digital Revolution," here is a series of four pages which explain the details behind how semiconductors work. An introduction...

Heating a metal conductor makes it more difficult for electricity to flow through it. See why in this tutorial. (Java tutorial)

For the teacher planning a lesson plan or for the student preparing for a project or presentation. This page describes a series of simple activities related to the voltage-current-resistance relationship.

Cavendish's 1785 original paper on phlogiston and air. Fascinating reading.

Fun and interesting information about Copper, the second best conductor of electricity. Learn about its characteristics, uses, where it is found, and discovery.

This site is from Michigan State University's Elementary Physics II class and details equipotential lines. The site displays maps and diagrams as well as formulas and rules for these types of lines.
