Forces at play in the Physics Theater. The gravitational force between two masses, the electric force between two charges, and the magnetic force between two magnetic poles -- all these forces take essentially the same mathematical form. Newton's script suggested connections between electricity and magnetism. Acting on scientific hunches, Maxwell saw the matter in an entirely new light.

This interactive game contains three levels. In the first level, students choose the object which uses electricity to create light, heat, or sound. In the second level, students choose the correct type of battery for different objects. In the third level, students choose the item needed to make a circuit complete such as a source of power or type of wire. ( This link is for an interactive game and may take a few minutes to load.)

What is the path of electricity and how does it get to a light bulb in your house? This video traces the path of electricity and it travel through the grid. It does not have narration, but uses a series of images to show different ways electricity gets to a home. The video could be used as an introduction to a lesson, to show students how to be more aware of this process, or what to avoid if they see one of these lines on the ground. (04:13)

The importance of electricity in our modern world can hardly be overstated. What was a luxury a hundred years ago is now a critical component to the safety, prosperity, and well-being of nearly everyone. Generation is the first step electricity takes on its journey through the power grid, the gigantic machine that delivers energy to millions of people day in and day out. So how does it work? (09.58)

It's Valentine's Day, and the class is selling light bulbs as a fundraiser. They decide to go to Ms. Frizzle's house to see if she'd like to buy some, but her doorbell isn't working. Tim and Wanda go to find her, and they overhear her reading a "love letter". The class now has to fix the doorbell before Ms. Frizzle's "big connection" comes over. (22:04)

Two multimeters are used at the same time to measure volts and amps from a small photovoltaic. The product of these are then used to calculate the watts generated. This provides the basis for further calculations for estimating the cost effectiveness of installing photovoltaic panels. Below is the formula I used for calculating how much time you need to the photovoltaic to pay for itself:
--average hours of sunlight per day × kW generated × $ (cost) per kWh = $ saved per day
--$ (cost) per square meter ÷ $ saved per day = total days needed to pay for photovoltaic per square meter
--÷ 356 days per year = total years needed to pay for photovoltaic per square meter (01:33)

In this video, Huckle and Lowly Worm wonder where electricity comes from. Water power produces electricity at the dam. The video gives great visuals for the dam and how water power is produced. Dams are big walls that are built to hold the river back. This is a great teaching resource for the elementary classroom and/or special education students. This would work well in conjunction with a science unit on natural resources and energy. (01:06)

Thomas Edison's most famous invention, the light bulb, paved the way for modern life. This is a short video about one invention, the light bulb, but adds little to understanding his life. It is interesting for teachers to use as it shows that the light bulb required electricity and that means even more problems to solve. (02:51)
