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.

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

If a sailboat is stranded because there is no wind, is it possible to set up a fan on deck and blow wind into the sail to make the boat move?

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 activity, learners investigate the different salinity levels of oceans, rivers and estuaries.

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, learners use a laser pointer and two small rotating mirrors to create a variety of fascinating patterns, which can be easily and dramatically projected on a wall or screen.

Use a Pico Cricket (micro-controller) to animate your art! You can program a Pico Cricket to make your art spin, light up, or make music.

In this activity, learners build an electric two-paddle boat using paint paddles, plastic knives, and empty water bottles.

Trick your family and friends with this creepy crawler that moves up and down. In this activity, learners construct a circuit and motor device that will move a homemade spider in a spooky way.

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.

In this activity, learners explore motion, energy, and electricity by constructing bottle cars that run on motors.

In this activity, learners build a recording timer made from simple materials (e.g., small dc motor, sharpie pen, craft sticks, adding machine paper tape, etc.).

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 activity, learners extract DNA from their own cheek cells, then create a rudimentary DNA profile similar to those seen on crime scene dramas.

In this activity, educators can demonstrate how the nanoscale arrangement of atoms dramatically impacts a material’s macroscale behavior.
