In this activity, learners will use static elecricity to bend a stream of water without touching it. Learners will explore physics and cause and effect through this activity.

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.

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

Learners use the current flowing in a wire to create a magnetic field that turns a magnet. Learners can use this property of electromagnetism to build a magnet-powered pinwheel.

In this activity, learners investigate static electricity using everyday objects at four different stations.

In this physics activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will explore the concept of static electricity.

In this activity related to magnetism and electricity, learners create a magnetic field that's stronger than the Earth's magnetic field.

Learners are challenged to create solutions that conduct electricity and make a buzzer buzz (or an LED light up).

In this activity about electricity, learners suspend pieces of tape from a straw to construct an electroscope, a device that detects an electrical charge.

In this activity about electricity and magnetism, learners discover how a doorbell works. A coil of wire with current flowing through it forms an electromagnet that acts similar to a bar magnet.

In this quick activity (on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Body Electricity Activity), learners will observe how dry breakfast cereal appears to dance when it gets close to a balloon charged with static

In this activity about chemistry and electricity, learners form a battery by placing their hands onto plates of different metals.

In this activity and demonstration about electricity and magnetism, learners observe how the current generated when one copper coil swings through a magnetic field starts a second coil swinging.

In this activity about electricity, learners identify closed and open circuits. First, learners examine and label diagrams of open and closed circuits.
