In this activity, learners explore the relationship between electric charges and magnetic fields.

Trick your family and friends with this creepy crawler that moves up and down. In this activity, learners construct a circuit and motor device that will move a homemade spider in a spooky way.

In this activity on page 10 of the PDF, learners detect the amount of energy that can flow through a sodium chloride electrolyte solution with a light sensor.

In this design challenge activity, learners design and build a circuit: an "electric highway" that connects a battery and buzzer at least three feet apart using four types of materials.

In this activity, learners build a tiny but powerful flashlight out of simple materials. Use this activity to introduce learners to electrical circuits and conductivity.

In this activity, learners explore how a flashlight works, showing the electric circuit and switch functions of this everyday household item.

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

In this activity, learners make an electroscope out of a foam cup, straw, aluminum pie pan, thread, and foil. Learners use their electroscopes to test for static electricity.

In this activity, learners build a switch to turn electrical circuits on and off.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of conducting or insulating electricity.

In this activity, learners build a toy that flies in circles. This activity introduces learners to center of mass, torque, and rotational motion.

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.
