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

In this activity, learners build a simple qualitative conductivity tester with a battery, bulb and foil.

This is a series of demonstrations about different electrical and magnetic phenomena.

Learners use compasses to detect the magnetic field created by current moving through a wire. This is one of four activities learners can complete related to PhysicsQuest 2008.

In this activity, learners build a simple electrolysis device. Then learners use an indicating solution to visualize hydrogen and oxygen molecules in water.

In this activity, learners create models of ionic compounds and observe the chemical formula of binary molecules they have created.

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.

Learners use the current flowing in a wire to create a magnetic field that turns a magnet. Learners can use this property of electromagnetism to build a magnet-powered pinwheel.

In this experiment related to plant biotechnology, learners discover how to prepare and load an electrophoresis gel.

In this activity, learners use colored candy to represent subatomic particles and make a model of an atom (Bohr model).

In this activity, learners construct a simple electrolysis device. With this device, learners can decompose water into its elemental components: hydrogen and oxygen gas.

In this trick, learners discover how to stick a straw to the palm of their hand, window door, or anywhere using static electricity.
