Physics: Current Electricity
These sites explain nature of current electricity. Here kids can learn about directions of electrons’ flow, differences between direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) electricity, and compare current to static electricity. The sites include photos, videos, hands-on activities, lesson plans, and simulations. There are links to eThemes resource on overview of electricity, static electricity, and circuits, conductors, and batteries.
