In this activity, learners build a game that tests their steadiness. Learners construct the game board by setting up an electrical circuit and a wand.

If a sailboat is stranded because there is no wind, is it possible to set up a fan on deck and blow wind into the sail to make the boat move?

In this activity, learners build an electric two-paddle boat using paint paddles, plastic knives, and empty water bottles.

Trick your family and friends with this creepy crawler that moves up and down. In this activity, learners construct a circuit and motor device that will move a homemade spider in a spooky way.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under GEMS Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into technology design and testing.

In this activity, children and adults work together to explore their relationship with technology and examine ways to make sustainable media consumption choices.

In this activity, learners create a battery from fruit. This activity helps learners explore electricity, electrochemistry, and series circuits as well as the process of scientific inquiry.

In this activity, learners build simple alarms that they can attach to anything, such as a drawer or doorway. This activity introduces learners to electricity, circuits, and currents.

In this activity, learners build a bird that flies in place with help from a motor, wire, and some straws.

In this activity on page 5 of the PDF, learners use their knowledge of energy and batteries to create homemade flashlights.

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

In this activity, learners explore the concept of conducting or insulating electricity.

In this demonstration, cook a cake using the heat produced when the cake batter conducts an electric current.

In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Forensics), learners will use a home video camera with a “night vision” mode to test how various inks appear outside the spectrum of visibl

In this optics activity, learners use glass and water to demonstrate total internal reflection (TIR).

In this activity about electricity, learners imagine that they are out in the wilderness and it is getting dark. Their task is to use the materials supplied to build a simple flashlight.

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, high voltage is applied across a pickle to emit a yellow glow. This activity should only be conducted by skilled adults and is best suited as a demonstration.

In this activity about electricity, learners explore what happens when you blow a fuse.

In this activity about electricity and magnetism, learners examine what happens when a magnet exerts a force on a current-carrying wire.
