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

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

Using Ohm's Law to Build a Voltage Divider
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners apply Ohm’s Law to construct voltage divider circuits. Learners discover how to read resistor codes and calculate resistor values.

Simple Spinner
Source Institutions
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.

Penny Battery
Source Institutions
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.
