Explains how electricity is created and stored, what it is made of, and how it travels through wires and outlets.

"Accessible information about circuits, conductors, and cells will help readers grasp the fundamentals of electricity. Fun experiments such as building a robot head or making an electronic switch bring these lessons to life in a safe, manageable, and exciting way"--Provided by publisher.

"Learn how to complete DIY projects dealing with electricity. Along the way, get a look at some of history's most incredible inventions and scientific discoveries."--

"How does an electrical circuit work? What's a conductor? Where does static electricity come from? The answers to these questions and more are waiting for readers to discover in this ... guide to electricity"--Provided by publisher

"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.

"Kids will explore one of Earth's important energy resources with Solar Energy Projects from the history to how we use it today. Then, they'll make s'mores in a solar oven, use solar energy to turn on a light, and more. Each project includes color photos and easy to follow instructions. Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards. Applied to STEM Concepts of Learning Principles."--Publisher's description.

Describes experiments that can be performed in order to learn about electricity, including which items create static electricity and the different types of circuits.

"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...

Suggested experiments studying static electricity and electrical circuits, with easily obtained supplies. Includes historical information and glossary.
