Electricity and magnetism has been the focus of research and study throughout history and despite its huge importance in our daily lives; we hardly ever stop to think what life would be like without electricity. Even though we take electricity for granted, it is used to enhance our lives in many areas from lighting, heating, and cooling our homes to powering our televisions, computers and many other appliances we depend on every day! The 50 projects contained in this science experiment e-book cover a wide range of Electricity & Magnetism topics; from Static electricity & Electrical current to Resistance & Magnetism… there are even experiments on electro-magnetism and solid state electronics all designed for young students from grade 1 to 8! With this book, you are sure to find a project that interests you. When you are interested in a certain science topic, you will have more fun, and learn more, too! With the help of this book, you will construct many weird, wonderful and wacky experiments that you can have hours of fun with! Amongst many others, you will make a light bulb shine using a lemon as a battery, Make a quiz board connected in series to learn about electrical circuit, make a compass to experiment with magnetism, and create a telegraph machine to see the science of electro-magnetism in action! Other fun experiments include: Other fun experiments include making an electrical door bell for your room, removing the tarnish off silverware using an electrolyte, how to tell which battery terminal is positive and which is negative, using a solar powered calculator to measure light levels, generating electricity by means of induction, picking up metal objects with your own electromagnet, making magnets float on top of one other, making ordinary steel objects magnetic, building a Franklin bells device for detecting high voltage lightning storms, building your own intruder detector, rain alarm, foxhole radio, electrical light bulb, electroscope and many, many more! When making these gadgets, you’ll discover that science is a part of every object in our daily lives, and who knows, maybe someday you will become a famous inventor too! Science can be real simple and is actually only about understanding the world you live in! Science certainly does not need to be complicated formulas, heavy text books and geeky guys in white lab coats with thick glasses. Science experiments are an awesome part of science that allows you to engage in cool and exciting hands on learning experiences that you are sure to enjoy and remember! By working through the science experiments in this book, you will learn about science in the best possible way – by doing things yourself. Designed with safety in mind, most of the items you will need for the experiments, such as jars, aluminium foil, scissors and sticky tape, you can find around your home. Others, such as magnets, lenses or a compass, you will be able to buy quite cheaply at a hobby shop or hardware store.
