For Class: Electrical Attraction and Repulsion SC.5.P.10.3 - Free Games and Simulations

Activity 1: Simulation Game. Estimated duration: 10 min

Circuit Construction Kit: DC - Intro

Experiment with an electronics kit! Build circuits with batteries, resistors, light bulbs, and switches. Take measurements with an ammeter and voltmeter, and test common objects to determine if they are conductors or insulators. Note: Students will automatically move through this simulation after 10 minutes of playtime.

Balloons and Static Electricity

Ever wonder why a balloon sticks to your sweater or a wall? Explore the charges in the sweater, balloons, and the wall as you investigate static electricity. Describe and raw models for common static electricity concepts including charge transfer, attraction, and repulsion. Show or hide the charges, and make predictions about behavior of the balloon. Note: Students will automatically move through this simulation after 10 minutes of playtime.
