In this activity, learners investigate various appliances and electronics, discovering how much energy each uses and how much carbon dioxide (CO2) is released to produce that energy.

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

In this electrochemistry activity, young learners and adult helpers create a battery from a potato to run a clock.

In this activity, learners create an electrical circuit and investigate how some dissolved substances conduct electricity.

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Body Electricity Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into conductivity.

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 explore the concept of conducting or insulating electricity.

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.

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.

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.

Learners are challenged to create solutions that conduct electricity and make a buzzer buzz (or an LED light up).

This lesson focuses on graphene and its electrical properties and applications.
