Electricity and Magnetism Reading Passages | Paper and Digital

Learn everything there is to know about electricity through these simple reading passages that require no more prepping than simply printing the pages or posting a link to the pages. These passages were written to replace the need for textbooks whether you are teaching in person or online.

This resource is part of our Electricity and Magnetism Unit.

This engaging resource includes:

• ten reading passages designed for an approximate Grade Five reading level (though we understand that not all students read at the exact level).
• topics that you can use throughout your electricity unit: What is Electricity?; Uses of Electricity; The Dangers of Electricity; Magnetism; Conductors, Resistors, and Insulators; Batteries; Circuits; Series and Parallel Circuits; Switches; Energy Efficiency
• simple suggestions to use the text sets.
• digital versions of all the student pages that use Google Slides. This includes loose text that you can use with your assistive technology. You must download the PDF file and use the access link in the file to get your digital copy.
  

This resource supports:

• any basic electricity unit
