In this activity, learners investigate various appliances and electronics, discovering how much energy each uses and how much carbon dioxide (CO2) is released to produce that energy.

In this activity, learners simulate the process of DNA fingerprinting by using electricity to separate colored dyes.

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

In this activity, learners create an electrical circuit and investigate how some dissolved substances conduct electricity.

This activity requires a Pico Cricket (tiny computer). Learners work on designing and building a sound sensor out of household materials, like plastic wrap and cardboard.

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Body Electricity Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into conductivity.

Cool off in the heat with this project! Learners use simple materials to build a fan that runs on a motor.

This board game teaches learners about energy decision making. Players select cards that determine the transportation and home design that will influence their expenses as they play.

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

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.
