In this activity, learners construct a device out of a piezoelectric igniter, like those used as barbecue lighters.

In this demonstration, cook a cake using the heat produced when the cake batter conducts an electric current.

In this activity, learners create a tiny electric, motorized dancer. Learners use the interactions of magnetism and electric current to make a wire spin, while displaying the Lorentz Force in action.

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.

In this activity, learners build an electromagnet using a nail, a cork, a battery, and electrical wire. Use this activity to demonstrate how electric currents produce magnet fields.

In this meteorology activity, learners construct simple devices to measure the direction and speed of wind.
