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

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

In this activity, learners simulate the process of DNA fingerprinting by using electricity to separate colored dyes.

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

This is an activity that demonstrates how batteries work using simple household materials. Learners use a pickle, aluminum foil and a pencil to create an electrical circuit that powers a buzzer.

Learners build a simple electromagnet, then use this electromagnet to transform a yogurt container into a working speaker. They can connect their speaker to a radio and listen as it transmits sound.

In this activity, learners use a nail and magnet wire to build an electromagnet, which controls the movements of a paper dancer.

In this activity, learners create a battery from fruit. This activity helps learners explore electricity, electrochemistry, and series circuits as well as the process of scientific inquiry.

In this activity, learners light an LED with five cents. Learners use two different metals and some sour, salty water to create a cheap battery.

Learners create an electrical-circuit maze out of wire, then try to pass a paperclip through the maze without touching the wire.

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 meteorology activity, learners construct simple devices to measure the direction and speed of wind.
