Posted by imanshomeschool on January 29, 2014 in Amina, Basma, Design & Technology, Education Tips, Educational Toys & Games, Electricity & Circuits, Electricity & Circuits, Interactive Learning, Kids' Corner, Science, Worksheets I am just starting to teach my younger girls about electricity and circuits.
I was looking through my files and I came across some of the worksheets I created 5 years ago for my son. They are a basic introduction to electricity, simple components and circuits. We are using them along with our John Adam’s Hot Wires kit which has really clever snap-together components. It comes with a booklet to build increasingly complex circuits in 100 experiments involving light, sound and movement. You can preview and download the worksheets by clicking on the links below: We are also using Electricity Worksheets from Super Teacher Worksheets.com Like this: Like Loading...

Purpose To demonstrate how static electricity can be used to separate pepper from a salt and pepper mix.
Additional information All matter is made up of tiny atoms, which in turn are made of even smaller parts called protons, electrons and neutrons. While protons have a positive (+) charge, electrons have a negative (-) charge and neutrons have no charge at all. Usually, atoms have the same number of electrons and protons making them devoid of any charge or ‘neutral.’ Sponsored Links Required materials CombSaltPepperCloth or material that can create a strong static charge, preferably wool.Inflated balloon (optional) Estimated Experiment Time Less than 5 minutes Step-By-Step Procedure 1. Note Be careful not to get salt or pepper in your eyes. Observation What would happen if you were to charge the balloon against the wool or cloth and then use that in place of the comb? Result.

Acknowledgements Kids Korner is made possible by the creative, talented and dedicated team consisting of the following: Valerie Williams Valerie Williams, Apogee’s Art Director and Lead Artist is the creator and artistic talent behind Kids Korner.
In the late 90s, after producing hundreds of illustrations and animations for Apogee online courses and Internet content over the years, it occurred to Valerie that these expensive art elements could be re-purposed for communicating complicated energy concepts to children. Encouraged by the enthusiastic reaction she received from our utility customers, Valerie undertook the design and began the curriculum development of what has become one of the most elaborate and comprehensive energy education sites around.

Look out the window. During the day, the sun gives out light and heat energy. At night, street lamps use electrical energy to light our way. When a car drives by, it is being powered by gasoline, a type of stored energy. The food we eat contains energy. We learned the definition of energy in the introduction: "Energy Is the Ability to Do Work. " Energy can be found in a number of different forms. Stored and Moving Energy Energy makes everything happen and can be divided into two types: Stored energy is called potential energy. With a pencil, try this example to know the two types of energy.
The Franklin Institute - Exhibit - Electricity. Feel the force of electricity by manipulating electrical phenomena, exploring authentic artifacts, and tackling questions of sustainable electricity generation and use.
This exhibition is energized, with interactive devices and graphics glowing from within the darkened gallery, illustrated by simple, edgy imagery. At its foundation, electricity is derived from the interaction of charges. Experience these interactions yourself by becoming a conductor for static charge. See the electrical impulses inside your own muscles. Use your body to complete a circuit. Electricity will spark your curiosity about the power of this phenomenon and what it holds for our future. Antique Lightning Rods The Electricity exhibit is now home to an intriguing collection of eight artfully-handcrafted antique lightning rods, dating from the late 18th through mid-20th centuries.
"Compromising Choices" demonstrates how sustainable electricity generation requires global decision-making. How Electricity Works" Humans have an intimate relationship with electricity, to the point that it's virtually impossible to separate your life from it.
Sure, you can flee from the world of crisscrossing power lines and live your life completely off the grid, but even at the loneliest corners of the world, electricity exists. If it's not lighting up the storm clouds overhead or crackling in a static spark at your fingertips, then it's moving through the human nervous system, animating the brain's will in every flourish, breath and unthinking heartbeat. When the same mysterious force energizes a loved one's touch, a stroke of lightning and a George Foreman Grill, a curious duality ensues: We take electricity for granted one second and gawk at its power the next.
More than two and a half centuries have passed since Benjamin Franklin and others proved lightning was a form of electricity, but it's still hard not to flinch when a particularly violent flash lights up the horizon.
