Do you know of any good sites about electricity and magnetism?

There are many resources to be found about electricity and magnetism.  There’s even a lecture from a professor at MIT that’s been video taped to help understand the connection between these two scientific concepts of electricity and magnetism.  While it’s very long (1 hour and 41 minutes!), it’s filled with clear examples and demonstrations of how electricity and magnetism work.

Here’s the video of a lecture given by Walter Lewin to young students taken from MIT World:

Along with this video there are many websites offering valuable information.

For example try investigating what BBC has to offer:

The Energy Information Administration offers Energy Kids.  Here you can learn about the history of energy, learn about ways to save and conserve energy generated from electricity, and play games and activities associated with energy and electricity.

While this site is text heavy, at Physics 4 Kids there are many explanations given for the following scientific concepts: chargers, conductors, electronic fields, magnetic fields, plus more.

For teachers (and students), by linking here, you’ll get an exhaustive list of links filled with many site on electricity and magnetism created by the Educational Technology Center at Kansas State University.
