Program Description
Student can participate in demonstrations: static electricity, parallel and series circuits, and how to make a galvanometer and a rheostat (a dimmer). If you would like to perform some of the demonstrations with us, contact our Program Manager for instructions.

Objectives
1. To illustrate how charged particles exert force on one another and how a charge builds up. 2. To illustrate how charged particles exert force on one another and how a charge builds up. 3. To explore how a spark occurs when a violently strong charge jumps from one object to another.4. To demonstrate how the flow of electrical current generates magnetism. 5. To describe and illustrate the basic components of an electric circuit. 6. To demonstrate how chemical fuel in a battery makes electrical energy. 7. To demonstrate the path that current takes through a series circuit. 8. To demonstrate the path that electricity takes through parallel circuits. 9. To explore the behavior of electricity when it takes the shortest and easiest path. 10. To illustrate how electric current can be detected using simple devices. 11. To demonstrate how electricity is produced by moving a magnet across a circuit wire. 12. To illustrate and explore how a device is developed to vary the amount of electricity flowing through a circuit. 13. To illustrate how the machine is designed and to measure its accuracy using the Morse code system. 14. To illustrate the principle of electromagnetic induction and how a transformer works. 15. To illustrate the fourth state of matter and how a transformer affects the movement of plasma. 16. To illustrate repulsion, attraction and other properties of static electricity.
