In this activity related to magnetism and electricity, learners create a magnetic field that's stronger than the Earth's magnetic field.

In this activity about electricity and magnetism, learners discover how a doorbell works. A coil of wire with current flowing through it forms an electromagnet that acts similar to a bar magnet.

In this activity about chemistry and electricity, learners form a battery by placing their hands onto plates of different metals.

In this meteorology activity, learners construct simple devices to measure the direction and speed of wind.

In this activity, learners explore the difference between compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs and traditional incandescent bulbs.

In this technology activity, learners build an "alarming" doormat to keep siblings out of their rooms. Use this activity to teach learners about circuits, switches, and sensors.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a car that uses a battery-operated motor to "drive" at least ten feet.

In this activity, learners construct bug models that "jitter" all over the table with just a battery, motor, and counterweight.

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