Students investigate electricity from the sky. In this electricity lesson, students participate in an experiment to simulate the electric charges from the sky. Students discuss results.

Most have felt a static electricity shock, but what actually causes it? Scholars observe, develop a hypothesis, experiment, and learn about static electricity. Through multiple short writing samples, they describe static electricity in...

Middle schoolers examine the properties of magnets and static electricity. They participate in experiments that demonstrate the behaviors of charged particles, and record their data on a worksheet.

Students observe and demonstrate how objects can be charged positively and negatively and how static electricity works. They observe a teacher-led demonstration, and in small groups rotate through various static electricity activities,...

Young scholars do a series of three experiments. In the first experiment, the students work with a partner to protect an egg from a 12 foot drop. In the second experiment, the young scholars investigate static electricity using...

Students investigate lightning. For this lightning lesson, students demonstrate how static electricity is in the air by observing how a balloon reacts to a charge.

Students create a list of things that they do with electrical power. They then are shown a PowerPoint on "Basic Electrical Safety." Students evaluate electrical equipment, cords and situations for serviceability and safety problems. They...

Students investigate energy consumption by researching wattage.  For this electricity lesson, students discuss how electricity works and gets transferred to our electronic devices through generators and circuits.  Students...

Students discover and identify positive and negative electrical charges and understand that like repels and opposite charges attract.  For this physics lesson, students observe how friction can be used to give electrical charge to...

Pupils 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 bulb.

For this electricity worksheet, students complete a crossword puzzle by figuring out the vocabulary words associated with the 20 clues given.

Students work together to discover the concept of static electricity. They participate in an experiment in which they test different objects charge. They make observations and record them for later use.

Students complete an experiment about static electricity. They are provided with a small plate that has gelatin and then given a small balloon. Students put the balloon above the gelatin and observe what happens, and then slowly raise...

Fourth graders develop an understanding of static electricity and discover how to detect a charge by using electroscopes.  In this electricity instructional activity, 4th graders complete a lab on electricity and discuss the results...

Young scholars explore electricity. In this Physics lesson, students investigate the origin of static electricity. Young scholars compare static electricity to current electricity.

Students research different types of lightning patterns and compare their origins to an experiment on static electricity. They research different types of lightning, and explain how different light patterns result from those charges.

In this Tucson Children's Museum Electricity worksheet, young scholars review and discuss twenty key terms associated with electricity and complete a crossword puzzle with those key terms.
