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

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.

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

This activity is an investigation of static electricity. What happens when you get "static cling?" Basically, you pile up electrons on one thing, which attracts the protons in something else.

In this activity, learners construct a simple electrolysis device. With this device, learners can decompose water into its elemental components: hydrogen and oxygen gas.

In this trick, learners discover how to stick a straw to the palm of their hand, window door, or anywhere using static electricity.
