In this activity about electricity, learners explore how static electricity can make electric "fleas" jump up and down. Learners use a piece of wool cloth or fur to charge a sheet of acrylic plastic.

In this electrochemistry activity, learners will explore two examples of electroplating.

In this activity, learners build a simple qualitative conductivity tester with a battery, bulb and foil.

In this physics activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners will explore how static electricity affects surrounding objects.

This is a series of demonstrations about different electrical and magnetic phenomena.

In this quick activity, learners explore static electricity using a plastic comb, wool cloth, puffed rice, and a plastic bag.

Learners use compasses to detect the magnetic field created by current moving through a wire. This is one of four activities learners can complete related to PhysicsQuest 2008.

Learners build a simple electromagnet, then use this electromagnet to transform a yogurt container into a working speaker. They can connect their speaker to a radio and listen as it transmits sound.

In this activity, learners build a simple electrolysis device. Then learners use an indicating solution to visualize hydrogen and oxygen molecules in water.

In this activity, learners create models of ionic compounds and observe the chemical formula of binary molecules they have created.

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.

Learners observe a simple balloon model of an electrostatic precipitator. These devices are used for pollutant recovery in cleaning industrial air pollution.

Learners use the current flowing in a wire to create a magnetic field that turns a magnet. Learners can use this property of electromagnetism to build a magnet-powered pinwheel.

In this activity, learners investigate static electricity using everyday objects at four different stations.

In this activity about electricity, learners produce a spark that they can feel, see, and hear. Learners rub a Styrofoam plate with wool to give it an electric charge.

In this physics activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will explore the concept of static electricity.

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 experiment related to plant biotechnology, learners discover how to prepare and load an electrophoresis gel.

In this activity, learners use colored candy to represent subatomic particles and make a model of an atom (Bohr model).

Using indirect observational methods, learners distinguish between charged and uncharged objects.
