In this activity, learners build an electric two-paddle boat using paint paddles, plastic knives, and empty water bottles.

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

In this activity, learners extract DNA from their own cheek cells, then create a rudimentary DNA profile similar to those seen on crime scene dramas.

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

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 use their strength to light a light bulb. A chain made from paper clips is placed in series with a battery and flashlight bulb.

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.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of conducting or insulating electricity.

In this activity related to Newton's Laws of Motion, learners build a boat powered by a propeller in the air.

In this activity about electricity, learners imagine that they are out in the wilderness and it is getting dark. Their task is to use the materials supplied to build a simple flashlight.

In this activity, learners string a line across the room and build cable cars that can move from on end to the other.

In this activity about electricity, learners explore what happens when you blow a fuse.

In this activity, learners construct cars that are powered by hand-made, electric propellers.

Learners follow directions to construct a water-powered electrical generator using a turbine made from plastic spoons.

In this activity about electricity, learners build and test a paper clip switch to turn on a light bulb.

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 about electricity, learners identify parallel and series circuits. First, learners examine and label diagrams of complete circuits.

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