Source Institutions
In this activity about electricity and magnetism, learners examine what happens when a magnet exerts a force on a current-carrying wire.
River Catcher
Source Institutions
In this activity (located at the top of the page), learners make an easy river strainer and see what they can catch.

Seas in Motion
Source Institutions
In this outdoor, beach activity, learners use tennis balls, water balloons and other simple devices to investigate the movement of waves and currents off a sandy beach.

Using Ohm's Law to Build a Voltage Divider
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners apply Ohm’s Law to construct voltage divider circuits. Learners discover how to read resistor codes and calculate resistor values.

Cake by Conduction
Source Institutions
In this demonstration, cook a cake using the heat produced when the cake batter conducts an electric current.
