Electricity And Magnetism: Stop Faking It! Finally Understanding Science So You Can Teach It
Shocked by static? Mixed up about magnets? Curious about currents? This book will help you get beyond memorizing electricity-related formulas, rules, and procedures so you can understand the topic at a deep level deep enough to teach it with confidence and comfort. By covering the basics of static electricity, current electricity, and magnetism, the book develops a scientific model showing that electricity and magnetism are really the same phenomenon in different forms.

Teachers of electricity and magnetism will love this book. It’s full of activities to help the students (and teacher) fully conceptualize electricity and magnetism. And the best part is the free interactive download which allows students to build all kinds of circuits on the computer!

As a teacher I find this book to be absolutely wonderful. I teach third grade and even though much of the material this book covers goes way over my student’s heads, the book has helped me to really understand the concepts behind electricity and magnetism. Prior to reading this book I did not fully understand the link between magnets and electricity. I now have an entirely new outlook on the world around me. So many things that never made sense about electricity (and magnets) are very clear.
The author does a great job of really dumbing down the material, but at the same time, he teaches you a lot. It’s really up to you how much you want to learn. He will give all sorts of formulas to understand the material if you want to go that far, or if you just want to understand how things work, he will give examples that anyone can follow.
I am buying all of his other books just to read and enjoy. Many times while reading I found myself chuckling at his jokes, while also saying “Ahhh, now I get it.”
I highly recommend this book to anyone teaching these topics or just wanting to understand them better.
