These simple, fun experiments in magnetism and electricity will get kids all charged up.

Illustrated directions for experiments with static electricity, magnetism, current electricity, and electromagnetism.

Kids will learn all about electricity and magnetism through these fun and easy-to-follow experiments.

Down to the wire? Do your readers wait until the last minute to start their science project? Don't worry, award-winning author Robert Gardner has everyone covered. Each experiment in this book follows the scientific method, and can be completed in an hour or less. Readers find out how to make different circuits, an electromagnet, and a simple electric motor. Most experiments also include ideas for science fair projects, in case readers have more time than they originally thought.

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

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.

This book is packed with more than 50 exciting experiments that kids can perform at home. The book encourages children's natural curiosity through fun - they'll be learning without even knowing it.

Through clear instructions and scientific illustrations, students can conduct easy yet engaging experiments to examine the principles of electricity and magnetism. Using easy-to-obtain household materials, readers will make a battery from electric cells, test objects to see if they are conductors or insulators, and build a simple electric motor. Readers are guided through applying the scientific method to gain a better understanding of the basic concepts demonstrated by each experiment. Safety tips educate students on the code of conduct expected when conducting experiments.
