In this activity, learners will build a simple electromagnet. They will test variables that would make the electromagnet stronger.

In this design challenge activity, learners design and build a circuit: an "electric highway" that connects a battery and buzzer at least three feet apart using four types of materials.

In this activity, learners build a tiny but powerful flashlight out of simple materials. Use this activity to introduce learners to electrical circuits and conductivity.

In this activity, learners discover how a piece of fruit can act as an electrolyte, conducting electricity between two different metals.

In this activity, high voltage is applied across a pickle to emit a yellow glow. This activity should only be conducted by skilled adults and is best suited as a demonstration.

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

In this activity about electricity, learners build and test a paper clip switch to turn on a light bulb.

In this design challenge activity, learners invent a device that will make their friends and family ask, "What's buzzing?" Learners design an alarm with an on/off switch that is small enough to hide.

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

In this activity, learners explore the parts of a circuit by modeling, as a group, a “human” circuit.

Create gas with a glass of water, some wire, conductors and a battery! You will be separating water (H2O) into oxygen and hydrogen.

In this activity, learners build a switch to turn electrical circuits on and off.

In this activity (26th on the page), learners construct an easy-to-build device and test motor learning.

In this activity, learners use their strength to light a light bulb. A chain made from paper clips is placed in series with a battery and flashlight bulb.

In this activity on page 5 of the PDF, learners use their knowledge of energy and batteries to create homemade flashlights.

In this activity and demonstration about electricity and magnetism, learners observe how the current generated when one copper coil swings through a magnetic field starts a second coil swinging.

In this activity about electricity, learners identify closed and open circuits. First, learners examine and label diagrams of open and closed circuits.
