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.

Did you know that some breakfast cereals are fortified with ferric phosphate, while others contain tiny pieces of reduced iron?

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

In this genetics activity, learners discover how to extract DNA from green split peas.

In this activity (page 10), learners explore how molecules self-assemble according to forces of attraction and repulsion.

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

Learners work in teams to design and build solar water heating devices that mimic those used in residences to capture energy in the form of solar radiation and convert it to thermal energy.

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

Learners investigate an iron-fortified cereal by stirring it with a strong magnet. They discover that metallic iron is present in some cereals.

Learners observe a simple balloon model of an electrostatic precipitator. These devices are used for pollutant recovery in cleaning industrial air pollution.

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
