We recommend doing the experiments in the order in which they are listed. First the students learn about charge and the electrostatic force. This is followed by activities dealing with the flow of charge in different types of circuits. Then come experiments with permanent magnets, which are followed by experiments dealing with the connection between electricity and magnetism: electromagnets and electric motors. The last experiments cover energy transformations in common household appliances and home energy use.
