In this data analysis and environmental science activity, learners evaluate the feasibility of wave energy as a practical alternative energy source using ocean observing system (OOS) buoys.

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 thought-provoking activity, learners plan a hypothetical project to build and operate wind turbines in their community.

In this activity, learners will explore ways static electricity interacts with the surroundings of an object. The activity has step-by-step instructions in English and Navajo.

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, learners investigate the properties of graphene and graphite.

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, learners string a line across the room and build cable cars that can move from on end to the other.

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, learners explore how an electromagnet works by making a simple one. Using this knowledge, learners design a diagram to make a working speaker using household materials.

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

This lesson focuses on graphene and its electrical properties and applications.

In this activity, learners build an electromagnet using a nail, a cork, a battery, and electrical wire. Use this activity to demonstrate how electric currents produce magnet fields.

Learners follow directions to construct a water-powered electrical generator using a turbine made from plastic spoons.

In this meteorology activity, learners construct simple devices to measure the direction and speed of wind.

This activity is an investigation of static electricity. What happens when you get "static cling?" Basically, you pile up electrons on one thing, which attracts the protons in something else.

In this activity, learners explore the difference between compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs and traditional incandescent bulbs.

In this technology activity, learners build an "alarming" doormat to keep siblings out of their rooms. Use this activity to teach learners about circuits, switches, and sensors.
