Measure the distance of lightning by watching and listening for thunder. Get into groups and make models of water, sound and light waves. Experience static electricity first hand by getting a balloon to magically stick to a wall. Describe a solid, liquid and gas around your home by its properties. Make a compound machine with your classmates by combining at least two simple machines. Each concept is paired with hands-on experiments and comprehension activities to ensure your students are engaged and fully understand the concepts. Reading passages, graphic organizers, before you read and assessment activities are included.

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 attraction, young readers will dive right into the step-by-step instructions while learning important scientific lessons.

Readers will enter the exciting world of science with this guide to experiments with magnets and electricity! They’ll learn about currents, batteries, circuits, and more through hands-on application of these essential concepts. Detailed instructions and photos guide readers through each step of every experiment, and a helpful question-and-answer feature answers any questions that could be encountered while experimenting. A concluding quiz asks readers to check their knowledge—a final test of what they learned from their excellent science experiment!

A collection of exciting experiments unlocks the mysteries of electricity and its connection with magnetism, offering simple projects using common materials to explain the physics of electricity.
