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 explore motion, energy, and electricity by constructing bottle cars that run on motors.

In this activity, learners make a model of a power plant that uses steam. Learners use simple materials like foil, a tin can, and a pot of water to model a geothermal power plant.

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

Make a model city happier with LEDs, circuits, motors, and batteries! Groups can think, discuss, design, and build what would make a community happy. Kids can work as part of a team or on their own.

In this activity, learners apply Ohm’s Law to construct voltage divider circuits. Learners discover how to read resistor codes and calculate resistor values.

This is an activity that demonstrates how batteries work using simple household materials. Learners use a pickle, aluminum foil and a pencil to create an electrical circuit that powers a buzzer.

This board game teaches learners about energy decision making. Players select cards that determine the transportation and home design that will influence their expenses as they play.

In this data analysis and environmental science activity, learners evaluate the feasibility of wave energy as a practical alternative energy source using ocean observing system (OOS) buoys.

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

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

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

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