Investigating Electricity

Lab Investigation

Inquiry-based activities covering the basics of electricity.

Perform a variety of hands-on investigations to study the properties of electricity. Students will explore the concepts of electric currents, open and closed circuits, and series and parallel circuits. They'll also investigate static electricity using an electroscope. The students will apply the knowledge gleaned from these activities to classify materials as either conductors or insulators of electricity and electrical power.

Accommodates class size of 40 students.
