Build Your Own Wind Turbine
Source Institutions
Learners construct an electricity-generating wind turbine out of a plastic bottle.

Blowin’ Up a Storm of Oil
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate how wind can create surface currents and how waves move. Learners also discover how wind can affect oil spills.

Motor Effect
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.

Simple Spinner
Source Institutions
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.

Circles of Magnetism IV
Source Institutions
In this activity related to magnetism and electricity, learners observe as two parallel, current-carrying wires exert forces on each other.

Weather Vane and Anemometer
Source Institutions
In this meteorology activity, learners construct simple devices to measure the direction and speed of wind.
