In this activity, learners explore how infrared technology is used by engineers to create equipment and systems for a variety of industries.

This lesson focuses on graphene and its electrical properties and applications.

In this activity, learners demonstrate and discuss simple circuits as well as the differences between parallel and serial circuit design and functions.

In this activity, learners explore an everyday situation, where either of two or more buttons can ring a buzzer.

In this engineering design challenge, learners make a bubble maze that allows bubbles to move through a series of “on” and “off” switches.

In this activity, learners explore electronic communication, the Morse Code system, and advances all the way through text messaging. Learners build a simple circuit, send messages to one another.

In this activity, learners build a mini dancing robot. This engineering activity introduces learners to electricity, circuits, switches, conductivity, and motors.

In this activity, learners incorporate a simple switch into a battery/bulb circuit. Learners will use their knowledge of circuits to design and make their own switches using common materials.

In this activity, learners explore how a flashlight works, showing the electric circuit and switch functions of this everyday household item.

In this activity, learners build a bird that flies in place with help from a motor, wire, and some straws.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under GEMS Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into technology design and testing.
