This book is packed with scientific facts, experiments, and activities linked to electricity and magnetism. It brings a lively, hands-on approach to practical science experiments. Children can find almost everything they need for the experiments around the home, and the materials and instructions are simply, safely, and clearly presented. This STEM-focused book will show readers how to build a battery-connected circuit, construct a DIY burglar alarm, make your own magnets, and much more.

With projects ranging from building a basic battery-connected circuit to a do-it -yourself burglar alarm, children will have fun discovering the properties and principles of electricity.

Uses activities and projects to introduce how electricity and magnets work at home and in the everyday world.

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

In this illustrated book, students are introduced to the concepts of energy, electrons and electrical energy. They learn about voltage, current and resistance, and Ohm's law, which relates to all three. Students learn where the energy to light the light bulbs comes from, and how it can be turned on and off. The book includes activities which direct students to connect light bulbs to batteries with wires, and experiment to find out what happens when they use more batteries, or more light bulbs, or different kinds of wire. The accompanying Learning Guide directs the student through the book and its activities, and also provides additional activities that assist the student in fully understanding and applying the concepts learned.

We confidently recommend this winning (and wildly popular!) book as the best introduction to hands-on science. Kids love building simple, reliable, bulb-and-battery circuits with foil and paper clips, while learning to read instructions and work independently, one enthusiastic step at a time. Help your students discover how much they love science! This book is full of fun science activities and projects that will provide hours of fun as the kids move from one cool science project to the next.
