In this activity about electricity, learners explore what happens when you blow a fuse.

In this activity about electricity and magnetism, learners examine what happens when a magnet exerts a force on a current-carrying wire.

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

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

In this activity, learners build a speedboat using paint paddles, a propeller, and film canister. Learners attach a simple circuit and motor to the boat to power the propellers.

In this activity about electricity, learners identify parallel and series circuits. First, learners examine and label diagrams of complete circuits.

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

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

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 suspend pieces of tape from a straw to construct an electroscope, a device that detects an electrical charge.

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