In this activity, learners build a game that tests their steadiness. Learners construct the game board by setting up an electrical circuit and a wand.

In this activity, learners play a simple card game to learn the sequence of events in the transmission of nervous system signals.

In this activity, learners examine fingerprints. Learners leave a hidden print on a surface and then make their own print detecting powder from graphite (found in pencils).

In this activity about electricity, learners explore how static electricity can make electric "fleas" jump up and down. Learners use a piece of wool cloth or fur to charge a sheet of acrylic plastic.

Learners construct an electricity-generating wind turbine out of a plastic bottle.

In this activity, learners explore how objects can have positive, negative, or neutral charges, which attract, repel and move between objects.

This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can use it to build and examine a basic electrical circuit.

In this electrochemistry activity, learners will explore two examples of electroplating.

In this activity, learners explore the relationship between electric charges and magnetic fields.

In this activity, learners play a simple card game to learn the sequence of events in the transmission of nervous system signals.

In this activity/demo about piezoelectricity, learners discover how some crystals produce electricity when squeezed.

In this activity related to magnetism and electricity, learners discover that a magnet falls more slowly through a metallic tube than it does through a nonmetallic tube.

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

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

This lesson challenges groups of learners to design and construct a wind generator with the most electrical output.

In this activity, learners model the flow of energy from the sun as it enters a photovoltaic cell, moves along a wire and powers a load.

In this engineering activity, learners will get acquainted with the basics of wind energy and power production by fabricating and testing various blade designs for table-top windmills constructed from

In this physics activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will explore the concept of static electricity.

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to find out if steel wool will weigh more or less when it is burned. Learners will explore the effects of oxidation and rusting on the steel wool.

In this physics activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners will make their very own working compass.
