In this activity/demo about piezoelectricity, learners discover how some crystals produce electricity when squeezed.

Learners observe an electrochemical cell constructed from a small jar containing zinc and copper strips immersed in separate solutions. The strips are connected to a motor that turns a small fan.

In this electrochemistry activity, young learners and adult helpers create a battery from a potato to run a clock.

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

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

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