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

In this electrochemistry activity, learners will explore two examples of electroplating.

In this activity, learners simulate the process of DNA fingerprinting by using electricity to separate colored dyes.

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

In this activity, learners construct a device out of a piezoelectric igniter, like those used as barbecue lighters.

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

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.

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.

Learners drop a magnet through a coil of wire to create electric current in a circuit. LEDs in the circuit allow learners to detect the direction of current flow.

In this activity, learners light an LED with five cents. Learners use two different metals and some sour, salty water to create a cheap battery.
