Make your own simple speaker so you can listen to your favorite radio station. Just wind a coil, attach it to a piece of cardboard or Styrofoam, hold a magnet nearby, and listen.

In this activity, you'll make an electric motor--a simple version of the electric motors found in toys, tools, and appliances everywhere.

In this activity, young learners investigate magnets. Learners discover that some magnets are stronger than others and that magnets have north and south poles.

In this activity, learners build a seesaw powered by magnets.

In this activity, learners compare and contrast different forms of luminescence by observing how chemiluminescence, phosphorescence, and fluorescence produce or emit light.

In this activity, learners create a tiny electric, motorized dancer. Learners use the interactions of magnetism and electric current to make a wire spin, while displaying the Lorentz Force in action.

Learners drop a magnet through a coil of wire to create electric current in a circuit. LEDs in the circuit allow learners to detect the direction of current flow.

In this physics activity, learners experiment with the attractive and repulsive power of magnets.

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.

In this activity about magnetism (page 11 of the pdf), learners will experiment with magnets to explore how opposite poles attract and similar poles repel in magnetism.
