In this activity, learners build an electric two-paddle boat using paint paddles, plastic knives, and empty water bottles.

In this activity, learners explore motion, energy, and electricity by constructing bottle cars that run on motors.

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

In this activity, learners use their strength to light a light bulb. A chain made from paper clips is placed in series with a battery and flashlight bulb.

In this activity on page 5 of the PDF, learners use their knowledge of energy and batteries to create homemade flashlights.

In this demonstration, cook a cake using the heat produced when the cake batter conducts an electric current.

In this activity, learners string a line across the room and build cable cars that can move from on end to the other.

In this activity about electricity, learners explore what happens when you blow a fuse.

In this activity, learners construct cars that are powered by hand-made, electric propellers.

In this activity, learners build a speedboat using paint paddles, a propeller, and film canister. Learners attach a simple circuit and motor to the boat to power the propellers.

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Body Electricity Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into conductivity.

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

In this technology activity, learners build simple circuits, design soft circuits using conductive thread, and then sew switch-activated circuits.

Make your own "Dance Dance Revolution" dance pad! In this design challenge activity, learners work in teams to build a dance pad that lets you use your feet to sound a buzzer or flash a light.

Create gas with a glass of water, some wire, conductors and a battery! You will be separating water (H2O) into oxygen and hydrogen.

In this activity, learners create a tiny electric, motorized dancer. Learners use the interactions of magnetism and electric current to make a wire spin, while displaying the Lorentz Force in action.

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

In this activity, learners construct drawing machines using a cup, some markers, and a battery pack. The markers act as "legs" for the machine, making a drawing that records as it moves.

Cool off in the heat with this project! Learners use simple materials to build a fan that runs on a motor.

In this activity, learners create night lights using a plastic cup, programmable PICO Cricket, tri-color LED, and sensor.
