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

In this activity, learners will build a simple electromagnet. They will test variables that would make the electromagnet stronger.

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

In this activity, learners extract DNA from their own cheek cells, then create a rudimentary DNA profile similar to those seen on crime scene dramas.

Learners build a simple one-cell battery and use an ammeter to measure the flow of current.

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.

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 (26th on the page), learners construct an easy-to-build device and test motor learning.

In this activity related to Newton's Laws of Motion, learners build a boat powered by a propeller in the air.

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.

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

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.

A magic lantern is a light that projects an image onto a screen.

In this activity and demonstration about electricity and magnetism, learners observe how the current generated when one copper coil swings through a magnetic field starts a second coil swinging.

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.
