Electrical Fleas
Source Institutions
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.

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

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

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

Ionic Bonding Puzzle Lab
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create models of ionic compounds and observe the chemical formula of binary molecules they have created.

Charge and Carry
Source Institutions
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.

M&M® Model of the Atom: Edible Subatomic Particles
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use colored candy to represent subatomic particles and make a model of an atom (Bohr model).

Remote Control Roller: Experiment with Static Electricity
Source Institutions
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.

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

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