National Standards for Grades 3-6

Students build a simple conductivity tester and use it to test a variety of solid materials. They analyze these same solids to determine whether they are magnetic. The data collected is compared to evaluate the properties that make an item conductive or magnetic. 

Experiments include: 

  • The Human Circuit
  • Building Your Conductivity Tester
  • Exploring Conductivity
  • Exploring Magnetism
  • Testing the Conductivity of Fruits and Vegetables. 

This kit contains all testing materials, a manual complete with background information, and reproducible student materials. A great lead in for electricity, circuits, and introducing physical science based concepts. Allow one hour of lab time for experimentation.
