Electricity Science Experiments for Kids

It's electric! Try these hands-on experiments and projects to (safely) learn about the science of electricity, which is the movement of elections between atoms. Take the afternoon to explore the connection between electricity and magnetism, different types of circuits, and static electricity.

Kids will learn about how static electricity works, how current electricity flows, and what is actually happening when they flip a switch. Science is so cool! Many of these ideas would make great science fair projects. You can easily add a variable component to the project to make it a true experiment.
