In the late 19th century, electricity truly had a noble or even divine reputation -- to the extent that members of the scientific community protested the idea of the electric chair as a degradation of both electricity and the scientific breakthroughs that made electrocuting a criminal possible. Wh...

Inspire the next generation of scientists to discover "green" energy sources by building a smaller model of a wind energy turbine. A windmill generator can produce electricity using power from the wind and is a renewable resource. Kids can test many var
Electromagnets produce magnetic fields only when electricity travels through their wire coils. Because electrons and protons are tiny magnets, all materials have some sort of magnetic property. In most materials, however, the way electrons spin in opposite directions cancels out an atom's magnetic ...
