Conductors of Electricity and Electromagnets

My last post shared some ideas for teaching about Current Electricity - Electric, Series, and Parallel Circuits. You can view that post here.



Investigating Electricity

In today's post, I want to share links to 2 activities. In the 1st activity students test materials to see if the materials are a conductor or insulator of electricity. In the 2nd activity students build and investigate electromagnets.

Just click on the links below to read about these activities.

Also, here is a Word Search on Static and Current Electricity to help students remember all those important science vocabulary words that they have been learning with these fun hands-on science lessons.

The Electricity Word Search is saved on my website with LOTS of other fun science worksheets! :)  Just click on the link below.
