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.

Learners use shop tools and various materials to construct a magnetic spinner and a compass.

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.

In this activity, learners will investigate static electricity as they create waterless snow globes.

Learners make a circuit board that has questions and answers. When the correct answer is chosen for a question, a circuit is completed and a light illuminates.

In this activity, you'll make an electric motor--a simple version of the electric motors found in toys, tools, and appliances everywhere.

In this activity, learners explore motion, energy, and electricity by constructing bottle cars that run on motors.

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, learners build a speedboat using paint paddles, a propeller, and film canister. Learners attach a simple circuit and motor to the boat to power the propellers.

In this activity, learners create painting machines that can paint moving forwards and backwards.

In this design challenge activity, learners invent a pinball-like game where a kick stick hits a ping pong ball into a target that buzzes.

In this technology activity, learners light up the room with electrifying play dough creations. Learners use conductive and insulating homemade play dough to build simple circuits.

In this activity (page 10), learners explore how molecules self-assemble according to forces of attraction and repulsion.

Make your own "Dance Dance Revolution" dance pad! In this design challenge activity, learners work in teams to build a dance pad that lets you use your feet to sound a buzzer or flash a light.

In this activity, learners build a seesaw powered by magnets.

In this activity learners will investigate magnetic and non-magnetic items in a sensory bottle.

Break open that used musical toy and squish some Play-Doh over the circuit boards, and you will hear some weird and distorted sounds the manufacturer never intended!
