Electricity and Magnetism Unit | Bundle | Paper and Digital

This bundle includes all our electricity and magnetism resources and is designed to be ready to use as soon as you print it. These are the perfect activities to melding background electrical knowledge with hands-on activities and it only takes minutes for you to plan out your next three months of science lessons. 

This unit includes:

• a set of basic lessons (with instructions to modify for your students) which address the majority of the concepts for the unit including electrical safety, uses of electricity, open and closed circuits, switches, short circuits, parallel and series circuits, conductors, insulators, resistors, electricity production, units of electrical measurement, circuit symbols and circuit diagrams, energy efficiency and electromagnetism.
• a set of reading passages that you can use in place of a textbook. Both paper and Google Slides versions are included. The Google Slides version includes loose text which can be read your text-to-speech readers.
• experiments.
• task cards (both paper and digital options are included).
• critical thinking activities (Design a Gameboard).
• games.
• creative thinking (STEM) activities.
• student pages and templates.
• photographs of student examples.
• answer keys and suggested answers.
• an interactive review game that uses Google Slides.
• digital versions of the student pages and activities where possible. See the note below about how to access the digital version.
• a bonus unit plan (only available in this bundle)
  

Many of the activities are hands-on and require students to have access to materials to build circuits. 

These resources have been classroom-tested with several groups of grade five students over several years.

This resource supports:

• any basic electricity unit
