Important Safety Information!
All experiments should be performed with adult supervision. Always wear safety equipment when appropriate and follow proper safety protocols. These projects are samples - verify procedures and use at your own risk.
Top 5 Recommended Projects
Air Battery / Saltwater Battery
Experiment with making electricity using a revolutionary method that uses oxygen from the air and saltwater as electrolyte. The electricity produced can be high enough to light up a bulb!
Test how salt amount, oxygen levels, or electrode size affect electricity production. Create graphs from your results.
Recommended: Ages 11-18 | Investigatory Project

Wooden Generator
Build an electricity generator by spinning a magnet inside a wire coil - the same principle used in power plants! Make all parts from wood except the magnet and wire.
Experiment with different numbers of wire loops or wire diameters to see how they affect electricity production.
Recommended: Ages 13-18 | Kit Available
