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

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

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

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.

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.

In this engineering design challenge, learners make a bubble maze that allows bubbles to move through a series of “on” and “off” switches.

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

In this activity, learners explore electricity and conductivity to find that many things conduct electricity including copper, pencil lead, fruit, play-doh, and even people!
