The work presents two hundred hands-on experiments that teach elementary magnetism, static electricity, and current electricity using simple, inexpensive, or home-made apparatus. Material is organized into parts that examine properties of iron and magnets, induced magnetism and magnetic fields, electrification, insulators and conductors, charging and discharging, and the behavior of currents. Each experiment includes step-by-step instructions, explanatory discussion of underlying principles, and suggestions for constructing apparatus when commercial pieces are unnecessary. Students are advised to perform experiments in sequence and to verify observations, with practical notes and problems aimed at amateurs and classroom use.
