Water Wire: Electricity Flowing Through Water
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 10 of the PDF, learners detect the amount of energy that can flow through a sodium chloride electrolyte solution with a light sensor.
Fruity Electricity
Source Institutions
In this activity, Frankenstein's lab is running out of electricity! Learners use fruit to help Igor find a temporary source of energy to turn on a light.
Build a Battery
Source Institutions
Learners make a simple battery out of "sandwiches" of aluminum foil, pennies, and a salt water-soaked paper towel.
Shocking Fruit
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover how a piece of fruit can act as an electrolyte, conducting electricity between two different metals.
Make Your Own Batteries!
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Body Electricity Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into conductivity.
Cake by Conduction
Source Institutions
In this demonstration, cook a cake using the heat produced when the cake batter conducts an electric current.
Properties of Metals
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the properties of metals at four stations. The stations include A) Magnetism and Breakfast Cereal; B) Conductivity of Metals; C) Alloys; and D) Metal Plating.
Electricity: Fruit Batteries
Source Institutions

Carrying Charges: Testing for Conductivity
Source Institutions
Learners are challenged to create solutions that conduct electricity and make a buzzer buzz (or an LED light up).
Exploring Materials: Graphene
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate the properties of graphene and graphite.
Hand Battery
Source Institutions
In this activity about chemistry and electricity, learners form a battery by placing their hands onto plates of different metals.
The Power of Graphene
Source Institutions
This lesson focuses on graphene and its electrical properties and applications.
