Students kit Everyday electricity and magnetism
Practical Experiments on Electric Circuits, Charges and Magnetism
Grade level: 5–8
Number of students: 1 working group
Use: Student experiments in one working group or demonstration experiments
The Students kit Everyday electricity and magnetism combines fundamental topics from electricity and magnetism for integrated science lessons. Students carry out experiments independently and become familiar with basic electrical and magnetic phenomena.
The experiments cover electric current and basic electric circuits, the effects of electric current, and the detection and behaviour of electric charges. Another focus is on the properties of permanent magnets and the relationship between electricity and magnetism.
A comprehensive teacher's guide includes experiment descriptions and examples of questions for evaluating the experiments, supporting their use in the classroom.
