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 activity, Frankenstein's lab is running out of electricity! Learners use fruit to help Igor find a temporary source of energy to turn on a light.

Learners make a simple battery out of "sandwiches" of aluminum foil, pennies, and a salt water-soaked paper towel.

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, learners discover how a piece of fruit can act as an electrolyte, conducting electricity between two different metals.

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

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

Learners test solutions of water, sugar, salt, and hydrochloric acid for electrical conductivity. They immerse leads from a lighting device (a battery pack connected to an LED) into each solution.

In this demonstration, cook a cake using the heat produced when the cake batter conducts an electric current.

In this activity, learners explore the properties of metals at four stations. The stations include A) Magnetism and Breakfast Cereal; B) Conductivity of Metals; C) Alloys; and D) Metal Plating.

In this activity, learners create a battery from fruit. This activity helps learners explore electricity, electrochemistry, and series circuits as well as the process of scientific inquiry.

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

In this activity, learners investigate the properties of graphene and graphite.

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

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