Electricity

Electrify and shock your students with these videos and activities meant to stir and peak their interest in electricity. Find a resource that will add excitement to your classroom.

Ammeters vs. Voltmeters

The most common mistake when analyzing a circuit is using an ammeter the same way that one uses a voltmeter. Learning the difference between the two is essential when studying circuits!

Genecon Generator and Accessories

Genecon Generator and Accessories shows how you can give your students a greater understanding of how mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy.

Tesla Coils, AP1594 and AP5443

Tesla Coils shows how you can spark your electricity and circuit demonstrations with this product.

Electronic Snap Circuits Kits

Electronic Snap Circuits Kits shows how you can take the confusion out of electronics and have fun with your students while they learn about circuits.

An Activity You Can't Resist

An Activity You Can't Resist shows that all you need is a sheet of paper, a #2 pencil and an ohmmeter to introduce the topics of voltage, resistance, current and Ohm’s Law in this Flinn Physical Science Minute.

Build a Simple Motor

Build a Simple Motor is a Flinn Physical Science Minute that shows how you can challenge your students to build a simple motor with only three components: a battery, a piece of copper wire, and a strong magnet in this fun demonstration.

Hair Raising Van de Graaff Generator

Hair Raising Van de Graaff Generator is a Flinn Physical Science Minute that shows how to do the always popular and "hair raising" Van de Graaff Generator demonstration.

Hot Dog Clock

Hot Dog Clock shows that sometimes the electricity flows, and sometimes it doesn't.

Two Potato Clock

Demonstrate how a clock can be powered by two potatoes.

Build the Simplest Electric Motor

Challenge your students to build a simple motor with only three components: a battery, a piece of copper wire and a strong magnet.

How Fuses Work

Students use electrical devices every day. An essential safety component of any electrical device is the fuse. Demonstrate what it means to “blow a fuse” and show why fuses are important safeguards against electrical fires.

Electrified Flying Objects

The basic principle of electric charges is that like charges (positive to positive, or negative to negative) repel and unlike charges (negative to positive) attract. Visibly illustrate repelling of like charges.

An Activity You Can’t Resist

Will graphite from a pencil conduct electricity? If so, does the resistance to the flow of electrons increase or decrease as electrons flow through a greater length of graphite?

Simple Iron Nail Motor

Build the “simplest” motor from only four components: a battery, a magnet, a piece of wire, and an ordinary iron nail.

Build Your Own Simple DC Motor

Motors are the fundamental driving force of the modern world. It is a very rare occasion when you do not see or use the action of a motor during your daily life. So how do they work? With this activity, you will build your own simple DC motor.

The Spinning Can

Use Lenz’s Law to “magically” spin an aluminum can without touching the can.
