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 resource is included in our Grade 5 Alberta Science Bundle.

This unit includes:

• complete electricity lesson plans with modifications for differentiation.
• digital versions with loose text that can be read by assistive technology.
• hands-on activities
• a bonus unit plan (only available in the unit).

This engaging bundle includes activities and lessons to learn about:

• electrical safety.
• uses of electricity.
• open and closed circuits.
• switches.
• short circuits.
• parallel and series circuits.
• conductors, insulators, and resistors.
• production of electricity.
• units of electrical measurement.
• reading electrical meters.
• circuit symbols.
• energy efficiency.
• electromagnetism.

Activities include:

• experiments.
• task cards (both paper and digital options are included).
• critical thinking activities (Design a Gameboard).
• games.
• creative thinking (STEM) activities.

Support materials included:

• word wall words (These are editable so you can modify them for your students and add your own vocabulary.)
• flashcards (These are editable so you can modify them for your students and add your own vocabulary.)
• reading passages for each of the topics.
