Circuit Game
Source Institutions
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.

Flat Flashlight
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a tiny but powerful flashlight out of simple materials. Use this activity to introduce learners to electrical circuits and conductivity.

Flashlights and Batteries
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how a flashlight works, showing the electric circuit and switch functions of this everyday household item.

Glowing Pickle
Source Institutions
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.

Trip Wire
Source Institutions
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.

Piezoelectric One-Way Remote
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct a device out of a piezoelectric igniter, like those used as barbecue lighters.

Insulators and Conductors
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the concept of conducting or insulating electricity.

Kosher Dill Current: Make Your Own Battery!
Source Institutions
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.

Shake It Up!
Source Institutions
Learners drop a magnet through a coil of wire to create electric current in a circuit. LEDs in the circuit allow learners to detect the direction of current flow.

Electromagnet
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build an electromagnet using a nail, a cork, a battery, and electrical wire. Use this activity to demonstrate how electric currents produce magnet fields.
