Electricity Science Projects - Add Some Spark to Science

Electricity science projects can great fun for both the students and teachers involved. There are so many wonderful things being done with electricity these days. There are electric lights, electric stoves and even electric cars! What's next? You never know, but it is a very interesting topic to choose for your science project. There are countless electricity science fair projects to choose from. If you use your imagination, you should have no problem coming up with a great project.

One interesting project is to see if lemons can produce electricity. This can be accomplished with minimal materials; all you need is a lemon, a paperclip, some copper wire and sand paper. Once you have both the wire and the paperclip in the lemon, gently squeeze the lemon with your hand. Once the lemon is ready, you can moisten your tongue and touch it to the ends of the two wires. You should be able to feel a slight tingle on the tip of your tongue and taste something metallic.

Another great project is to build your own generator, or to research how electricity is created. You could also research how they make the electric car. You could even make a little model of an electric car yourself, depending on your time frame and your skill level on this topic. Electricity is a fascinating topic and there is still so much of it that people do not understand about it. Wouldn't you like to know how your light turns on when you flip a switch? Or how you can have two lights switches at the top and bottom of the stairs that control the same light?
