The science inside
- Electricity & Magnetism
- Engineering & Design
- Inventions
- Scientific Discovery & Careers
Your child will meet:
- Alternating current reverses direction periodically and can be transformed to different voltages for power transmission.
- Changing electric currents create magnetic fields, and changing magnetic fields can induce electric current.
- Remote control and wireless communication require a transmitted signal and a receiver that responds to encoded information.
- An invention's adoption depends on technical performance, safety, infrastructure, financing, and public trust as well as originality.
Use it this way
Parent effort: Simple activity
Get ready for the electrifying biography of Nikola Tesla--part creative genius, part mad scientist, and 100% innovator. When Nikola Tesla arrived in the United States in 1884, he didn't have much money, but he did have a letter of introduction to renowned inventor Thomas Edison. The working relationship between the two men was short lived, though, and the two scientist-inventors became harsh competitors. One of the most influential scientists of all time, Nikola Tesla is celebrated for his experiments in electricity, X-rays, remote controls, and wireless communications. His invention of the Tesla coil was instrumental in the development of radio technology.
