Electricity is a force caused by electric charge. It is a form of energy which we use to power machines and electrical devices. Click for more Electricity worksheets and facts in PDF and Google Slides format!
As the head and flow increase, so does the electricity generated. The head is usually dependent upon the amount of water in the reservoir. Simple Beginnings Use of hydropower peaked in the mid-20th century, but the idea of using water for power generation goes back thousands of years. A ...
What is a Magnetic Field? - Lesson for Kids Magnetic Field: Definition & Creation Lesson Transcript Instructors Jim Heald View bio Elaine Chan View bio Magnetic fields are generated when charged particles move around. Explore more about magnetic fields, their source, current carrying conductors, and...
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 variables when building an electricity and wind...
We know from our play dough circuits that the circuit needs to be complete for electricity to flow, but we usually want to be able to control whether electricity flows or not. This can be done using a simple switch. MY LATEST VIDEOS How to make a simple switch The basic circuit below ...
Around the world,2.5 billion peoplehave no (or unreliable) access to electricity. Plus,4.2 billionstruggle to access clean water every day, which they need fordrinking,bathing,washing,growingcropsandrearing animals. That’s why those of us that have access to these precious resources should be ...

Static electricity is the imbalance of positive and negative charges. Opposites Attract Now, positive and negative charges behave in interesting ways. Did you ever hear the saying that opposites attract? Well, it's true. Two things with opposite, or different charges (a positive and a negative...
Temporary or soft magnets produce magnetic fields while in the presence of a magnetic field and for a short while after exiting the field. Electromagnets produce magnetic fields only when electricity travels through their wire coils. Because electrons and protons are tiny magnets, all materials have...
What is it about robots that is fascinating for kids and adults alike? Now make your own simple pool noodle bot that can draw with markers! The mechanism for this simple STEM project is an inexpensive electric toothbrush. An electric toothbrush is a tool that uses electricity from a built-in...
