Learners construct an electricity-generating wind turbine out of a plastic bottle.

In this activity, learners explore how wind energy can be generated on both a large and small scale.

In this activity, learners investigate various appliances and electronics, discovering how much energy each uses and how much carbon dioxide (CO2) is released to produce that energy.

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

In this activity/demo about piezoelectricity, learners discover how some crystals produce electricity when squeezed.

In this activity, learners explore how various energy sources can be used to cause a turbine to rotate.

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

This lesson challenges groups of learners to design and construct a wind generator with the most electrical output.

In this engineering activity, learners will get acquainted with the basics of wind energy and power production by fabricating and testing various blade designs for table-top windmills constructed from

This activity requires a Pico Cricket (tiny computer). Learners work on designing and building a sound sensor out of household materials, like plastic wrap and cardboard.

Learners build a simple electromagnet, then use this electromagnet to transform a yogurt container into a working speaker. They can connect their speaker to a radio and listen as it transmits sound.

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

Learners follow directions to construct a water-powered electrical generator using a turbine made from plastic spoons.

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.
