Makerspaces are places designed to inspire creativity and collaboration. In Connect it! Circuits you can squish, bend, and twist, kids will use bright and squishy conductive dough to power mini UFO lights, a diary alarm, and more! Colorful step-by-step photos bring each project to life. Techniques and tips help troubleshoot and use the materials within the makerspace. Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards.

A discussion of electricity.

Fifteen-year-old Michael Vey, born with Tourette's syndrome and special electromagnetic powers, joins his techno-genius best friend and an alliance of other "electric" teenagers to battle powerful foes in the jungles of Peru, where Michael learns the Order of Elgen's plan to "restructure" the world.

Presents basic principles of electricity through a history of its study and technology from 600 BC to the twentieth century, and outlines areas of present research, such as superconductivity.

Collected here are nineteen of Nikola Tesla's essays, letters, and speeches complete with over 200 captioned figures. Now you can read these famous articles as they were intended to be read. Included are 'A New System of Alternating Current Motors and Transformers'; 'Experiments with Alternate Currents of Very High Frequency and Their Application to Methods of Artificial Illumination'; 'Experiments with Alternate Currents of High Potential and High...

The resistance movement has been compromised, and they have no idea if their families are alive, or dead. What they do know is that the Elgen won't stop until they've destroyed the Electroclan. And the Elgen are on the move. They've launched a new assault on the small island nation of Tuvalu. If they are successful, it will be the first domino to fall as part of Admiral-General Hatch's master plan to take over the rest of the word. But cracks are...

In the following I shall consider three exceptionally interesting errors in the interpretation and application of physical phenomena which have for years dominated the minds of experts and men of science. 1. The Illusion of the Axial Rotation of the Moon. 2. The Fallacy of Franklin's Pointed Lightning-Rod. 3. The Singular Misconception of the Wireless. Tesla is well known for his inventions, speeches and articles, many of which are readily available....

Nikola Tesla was a genius who revolutionized how the world looks at electricity. During college, his professors explained that it was impossible to design an engine without commutators or brushes. Tesla was unconvinced that such was necessary or even particularly desirable. It was then that Tesla began his work on the rotating field motor that ultimately gave birth to the modern age. In May of 1888, Tesla delivered his lecture "A New System of Alternating...

"Electricity is one of the most important discoveries of the modern world. But sometimes electricity can do truly freaky things. From ball lightning to Nikola Tesla's amazing lightning rod and other inventions, the power of lightning has fascinated many throughout history. Stories about Ben Franklin discovering electricity and how Tesla coils work will fascinate readers eager to explore the history of electricity and the technological advances scientists...

To everyone at Meridian High School, fourteen-year-old Michael Vey is nothing special, just the kid who has Tourette's syndrome. But in truth, Michael is extremely special--he has electric powers. Michael thinks he is unique until he discovers that a cheerleader named Taylor has the same mysterious powers. With the help of Michael's friend, Ostin, the three of them set out to discover how Michael and Taylor ended up with their abilities, and their...
