Student Activity: Series Circuits

In this demo, two circuits are constructed to enable comparison of the brightness of a light bulb placed in a circuit with one cell and the brightness of the same light bulb in a circuit with three cells connected in series. In Next Steps the potential differences of...

Student Activity: Parallel Circuits

In this demo, two circuits are constructed to enable comparison of the brightness of a light bulb placed in a circuit with one cell and the brightness of the same light bulb in a circuit with three cells connected in parallel. In Next Steps the potential differences...

Teacher Demo: Chemiluminescence

This demonstration is definitely an eye-catching crowd-pleaser. It is a great demonstration to show the interconnection between physics and chemistry, linking an example of light emission to evidence of chemical reactions. It is similar to a common example of...

Teacher Demo/Student Activity: Bending Water

In this demo, a polyethylene rod is charged by rubbing with wool. The charged rod is then used to bend a stream of water flowing from a tap. Different substances have different attractions for electrons. When two materials are rubbed together, electrons will leave the...
