Electrifying Electricity

This week we began our science unit on electricity. We started off our unit with some hair raising experiments on static electricity. We also used BrainPop to further develop our understanding of static electricity. Our next topic will be current electricity. We will do a webquest to learn more about types of electricity, kinds of circuits, and safe practices around electricity. We will end the unit by investigating the characteristics of magnets and developing electromagnets.
