Magnetism+and+Electricity

=Magnetism and Electricity=

What is electricity? Who invented it? How do we harvest it? Use the links on this site to answer some of our wonderings. ||= Play the MI game from BBC bite size to test your knowledge about magnets. It does take a few minutes to load. || Can you protect Steve from electric eels using your knowledge of circuits and conductors? ||= Test your knowledge about electrical circuits in this MI High activity. There is also a link to a 'changing circuits' activity on BBC Science Clips. || Try the 'Revise', 'Activity' or 'Test' on the Energy, electricity and forces KS3 section, especially the electric current and voltage, or magnets and electric current sections. ||= Try some of the great experiments and investigations on the Magnet Man site || ||= The Physics for Kids site has links to videos, images, articles and experiments about static electricity and electrical currents. Record the hyperlink pathway and url in your book- then evaluate the effectiveness and usefulness of the link for learning about our topic. || ||= What is a 'squishy circuit'? Look at this site, follow the instructions and see how many LEDs you can light up. || http://ictmagic.wikispaces.com/Science+-+Section+3

 * = This site has links to experiments similar to the ones we are completing in class. You might like to set up one and share it with the class.
 * = This site has links to web quests about the concepts of magnetism and electricity. Find one useful one and one you think has limited appeal- justify your opinion with evidence and be prepared to share with the class.
