This lesson focuses on using logical appeals in persuasive speeches including inductive and deductive reasoning, inductive reasoning and associative reasoning, forming a rational appeal, and errors in reasoning-formal and informal.

Students will investigate the properties of charge, charge by contact, the polarization of charge, and charge by induction. Through the use of demonstrations, students should have a thorough understanding of the movements of electrons...

This apparatus is easy and inexpensive to construct and provides a clear and compelling demonstration of Faraday's Law of Induction and the Lorentz force. Two magnets are suspended from springs so that they are free to oscillate...

This lesson begins with an activity in which students induce EMF in a coil of wire using magnetic fields. Then, demonstrations on Eddy currents show how a magnetic field can slow magnets just as Eddy currents are used to slow large...

A teacher lesson plan which includes several hands-on activities pertaining to static charge, charge interactions, and the induction process. Students use readily available materials to investigate these concepts. Designed for pre-high...

A teacher lesson plan which includes activities pertaining to common methods of charging objects - induction, conduction, and friction.

Students will build a simple DC motor out of metal coat hangers, a 24-guage wire armature and field magnet, 14-guage wire brushes, and build the motor so that it rotates when connected to a 10-volt DC power supply. Students will...

In this lesson, a subject of high interest to students is the vehicle for teaching skills that may be perceived as boring to students. Nominating a performer for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame allows students to recognize...

Use an angle wheel to make estimates of the measures of various angles. Printable lesson.

This lesson focuses on structure and logic including types and purposes of essays, organizational patterns, argumentative writing, and logic and fallacies.

A simple activity that investigates the effect of heat on the volume of a gas. The activity is presented in lesson plan format that meets NSES standards.

A teacher lesson plan which includes several student activities on magnetism, force fields, and magnetic induction. May provide an idea for a student project or lab investigation.

An easy to do, fun activity that investigates sound waves. The activity is presented in lesson plan format that meets NSES standards.
