Magnetism and Electricity
Age 8-10: Concept 2 - Force and Power: Unit 1

Explore magnetic force and observe ways that magnets and electricity are used in daily life. Create your own circuit and experiment with a variety of materials to determine whether they are insulators or conductors. Recognize the correlation between magnets and electricity.

This unit can be used independently but is designed to be taught in conjunction with the literature unit for Ben and Me.
