Electricity & Magnetism
The Hidden Dangers of Electricity -Every year, tens of thousands of people in the U.S. are killed or injured from contact with electricity. Play this game to learn more about how you can protect you, your friends, & family from the dangers of electricity. See if you can get a perfect score of 16,500 points by being able to correctly identify each dangerous electrical situation in all three of the neighborhoods in this game. Good luck!
Make the Safe Choice -Making the wrong decisions when it comes to electricity could cost you your life! Test your ability to handle electrical hazards in the home by playing this game. See if you can get a perfect score of 12.
Build a Circuit -See if you can complete a circuit that will light up the bulb in this activity. Once you've finished building your circuit, be sure to use the switch to turn on the bulb.
Placing More than 1 Bulb in a Circuit -Do you remember our work with series circuits? What happens to the amount of current in our circuit when we place more than one bulb in the same path?
Conductors & Insulators Experiment -Did you enjoy our experiment testing different materials to see whether or not they conduct electricity in science lab? If so, you're going to LOVE this activity! There are even a few items that might still surprise you! Just click on the pickle to start the activity.
Magnets & Electromagnets Around the House -Find as many of the magnets and electromagnets as you can in this house. I think that you will be surprised just how many magnets and electromagnets are found in many common items around the house.
Build an Electromagnet -Try to build the strongest electromagnet that you can by picking up all 75 iron fillings! In this experiment, you can change the type of wire, the wire thickness, the number of coils, the type of current, and how much current. Only when you use the correct combination of these five things, will you be able to pick up all 75 iron filings!
The Ohm Zone -This is one of the best interactive sites that I've seen on electricity. This site allows you to build all of the circuits that we have built in class plus much, much more! Dig in and have fun!
