"Explains how to use the scientific method to conduct several science experiments about electricity and magnetism. Includes ideas for science fair projects"--Provided by publisher.

"Find out how to make a compass, an electromagnet, a parallel circuit, and many other quick science projects using electricity and magnetism"--Provided by publisher.

Describes how electricity is generated and used, with projects that demonstrate the basic scientific principles that are involved in electrical circuits

20 experiments with electricity as part of her Spectacular Science Project series. A discussion of how to create and present a successful science fair project precedes the clearly spelled out projects, which contain a sample problem (How does matter become electrically charged? Can a magnet produce an electric current?); a list of materials (including "adult helper" when warranted); step-by-step procedures; a summary of the guaranteed results; the...

"With electronic devices in nearly every home, electrical and magnetic currents are a common part of everyday life. Understanding how these concepts work in a safe and practical way is an important part of every young scientist's journey. Through this volume's simple, hands-on experiments, young scientists will get a good look at both in action, encouraging their understanding of these complex forces. With experiments on static electricity and magnetic...

Simple experiments demonstrate the basic principles of magnetism and electricity.

Provides instructions for over fifty experiments demonstrating the properties of electricity and magnetism.

Encouraging children to learn about their physical world, this book discusses electricity and introduces safety precautions.

Uses experiments and projects that produce actual working models to present the fundamentals of electricity and magnetism.

"While electricity and magnetism may seem like magic, there are concrete scientific ideas behind both that have allowed them to shape our modern world . . . breaks down key ideas including the movement of electrons and electromagnetism . . . challenges readers to analyze these concepts from the viewpoint of a scientist using the scientific method and hands-on experiments."--
