You can find motors in countless household devices. Discover how they work as author Ed Sobey guides young readers through the disassembly and rebuilding of a motor. Make your own motor and improve it for different uses. Many unique experiments include ideas for science fair projects.

In Magnetic Current, Edward Leedskalnin presents his groundbreaking theories on the nature of magnetism and its relationship to electricity. Through a series of experiments and observations, Leedskalnin challenges conventional understanding of these fundamental forces, offering a unique perspective on the workings of the universe. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in alternative scientific theories and the mysteries of the natural world.

Illustrated directions for experiments with static electricity, magnetism, current electricity, and electromagnetism.

Electric motors, transformers, and control systems are used in all modern industries. Knowledge of the characteristics of these will help the electrical engineering technologist keep the wheels of industry turning. This book will give the student a practical introduction to electrical machinery, transformers, and motor control. The experiments have all been used at the Pennsylvania State University, Mckeesport Campus. There, the full series of experiments were done in two semesters. Each experiment requires about two hours of laboratory time. The book is designed to accompany a textbook. As an added feature, the book also has sections on conducting an experiment, laboratory report writing, accuracy, equipment, and motor runaway.

Given the pace of how we harness and utilize electricity, as well as the importance of developing new sources of energy, electricity is a timely subject for kids to explore. In Explore Electricity! With 25 Great Projects, kids ages 6-9 will learn the basics of electricity: currents, circuits, power, magnetism and electromagnetism, motors and generators. They’ll become more attuned to how much they rely on electricity in their daily lives. They’ll also understand that while electricity is a wonderful resource, and one we’ve used to our advantage ever since it was discovered, the future of how we make and use electricity is still changing and there are things they can do today to impact these changes. This title invites kids to experiment on their own with 25 simple projects that will “spark” their learning and enthusiasm, including making their own clothespin switch, lemon battery, compass, electromagnet, and flashlight, as well as generating their own “lightning.” These hands-on activities combined with informational text will excite kids about STEM? the interrelated fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

From engaging science experiments, effective role-play scenarios and useful digital technologies through to intriguing Maker spaces, colourful science fairs and community collaboration in your school, there are so many ways that you can be the spark that ignites a passion in students for understanding how the world works. This book takes you through the practical and realistic ways you can teach the kind of science that kids care about Discover how to address students' science misconceptions, teach science with limited resources and ensure primary students can work to the scientific method in fun challenges where they can explore science in meaninfgul ways they'll remember. It's time to reinvigorate your love of teaching and bring about sustained active learning. Your classroom can become a glowing example of how to engage students in STEM and a beacon for the greater community. It's not just about 'teaching'... your job is to inspire
