This Electricity and Magnetism bundle is perfect for teaching your students about electricity, circuits, conductors, insulators, resistors, wires, magnetism, and more! This bundle is created for Alberta Grade 5 Science, but it will support any young learners being introduced to these concepts. There is some overlap with Mechanisms Using Electricity.This bundle also aligns with many of the Ontario Grade 6 Electricity and Electrical Devices unit outcomes.

This package of circuit diagrams is perfect for introducing your students to circuit symbols and building circuits! Your students will label each diagram and then construct the circuit it represents. This download includes: 14 Circuits of increasing complexity to buildA sheet of circuit symbols for student referenceSome series circuits and some parallel circuitsCircuits using wires, cells, switches, lamps (lights), motors, and resistorsYour students will require: Wires2 D-cells (I recommend also
A checklist of things students need to do to succeed on the unit exam. I print this and give it to my students before their unit exam and the PAT. You can also use it to inform planning, instruction, and to ensure you've covered everything. I have study guides for all other units listed in my store, plus I have a consolidated version if you'd prefer to purchase all of them at once for use throughout the year and on the PAT. That guide is cheaper than buying each unit separately, PLUS it comes wi
This exciting project will challenge your students to use all their electric circuit building skills to create an alarm box to keep their pesky sibling away from their cell phone (or other valuable toy)! Students will plan their design, draw a circuit diagram, and then construct their box. Requires Electric Circuit Building Materials Such As:WiresD cells and holdersElectric buzzer, bell, or light bulb in holderSwitchesElectrical tapePlus some other readily available materials listed in the teach

This electricity experiment will teach your students some different materials that are conductors of electricity, and some that are insulators. This download contains laboratory experiment worksheets for students to carry out a fair test using the scientific method. It provides students with a guiding question, a detailed, step-by-step procedure, a circuit diagram for them to set up the test, an observations chart, a list of materials needed to carry out the experiment, concluding questions, and

This timeline-making activity will familiarize your students with some key events and poeple in the history of modern flight. Students will add labels to the timeline with the correct year (great for building number-line using skills), and use the internet to collect information to add 1-2 pieces of information about each significant person (or contribution). Comes with a few suggestions for people or events to add to the timeline. You can also differentiate by making this more challenging by ad
