Twelfth Grade, Electricity & Electronics Projects, Lessons, Activities (25 results)

Stop for a minute and try to imagine your world without electrical power and electronic gadgets. No convenient appliances in the kitchen, no electric lights. No computers, MP3 players, television, or video games. Your life would be completely different, wouldn't it? Electricity and electronics are so central to modern life that, paradoxically, they're easy to overlook.

Make an Automatic Pill Dispenser
Science Fair Project Idea
Engineering Design Process
Remembering to take medicine at the right time can be hard, especially if you need to take multiple medications at different times of day. It might not be a big deal if you forget to take your daily multivitamin, but for some people, forgetting to take medication at the right time can be dangerous. What if you had a device that could not only set off an alarm at the right time, but also automatically dispense the right pills for you? In this project, you will build an automatic medicine… Read more
Build an Ultrasonic Levitator
Science Fair Project Idea
Engineering Design Process
It's not magic; it's science! Build your own acoustic levitator to make objects float in midair using invisible sound waves. Read more
Dealing with Diabetes: The Road to Developing an Artificial Pancreas
Science Fair Project Idea
Engineering Design Process
Imagine if you had to take medicine every time you ate, and you had to use a math formula to figure out how much medicine to take based on the nutritional makeup of the food, how you were feeling, and what activities you were planning to do. You might also need extra medicine throughout the day (even in the middle of the night) based on your blood glucose levels. People with diabetes who take insulin do this every day. They use finger sticks and blood glucose meters or a continuous glucose… Read more
Monitor Your Plants with a Soil Moisture Sensor
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
Do you or your family have a lawn, garden, or potted plants that you water regularly? Irrigation—or the artificial application of water to plants and landscaping—accounts for over two-thirds of the world's freshwater consumption (U.S. Geological Survey, 2016)! While that total includes farms, in the United States landscape irrigation still accounts for almost one-third of residential water use. As much as half of that water is wasted due to inefficient watering methods (WaterSense,… Read more
Build a Voice-Controlled Lamp
Science Fair Project Idea
Engineering Design Process
"Alexa, turn on the lights!" Sometimes it is easy to take the technology around us for granted. But have you ever wondered how a smart speaker like an Amazon Echo® knows what you are saying and how it can control lights and appliances in your home? It can seem like magic if you buy a device that just works when you open the box. In this project, you will learn how it works. You will build your own smart home device to control an appliance with voice commands using an Arduino®. Get… Read more
Build Your Own Radon Detector
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
Electronic devices can be designed to detect dangerous fumes or other hazards, such as smoke or carbon monoxide. In this electronics project, you will build another potentially life-saving detector—a radon detector. Radon gas is radioactive and can pose a hazard to your health if you live in an area where it leaks from the ground. In this electronics science project, you will learn how to collect radon with an ordinary dusting cloth mounted on the intake of a fan, and then measure its… Read more
Build a Model Mass Driver for Launching Objects into Space
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
A mass driver uses electromagnetics to launch projectiles. In the future, such a device could launch payloads into space without the use of chemical rockets. This could lead to long-term cost savings when launching large amounts of material into space—for example, to construct a space station. In this project you will design and build your own working model mass driver as you learn some of the engineering principles behind how mass drivers operate. Read more
Feel Sound With Your Fingertips: Ultrasonic Haptics
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
Virtual reality headsets can make you see something that isn't really there, but can you feel an object that isn't there? In this project, you will build a device that lets you feel invisible sound waves in midair.  Read more

Build a Magnetic Pet Door
Science Fair Project Idea
Engineering Design Process
Does your home have any pet doors or gates for dogs, cats, or other animals? Some automatic pet doors can be set up to allow only certain animals through. These doors can help you control which pets are able to go outside alone or which ones have access to specific food, litter boxes, or toys. But why buy such a door when you can make one? In this project you will build your own automatic pet door that works with a magnetic collar tag. Exactly how you use it is up to you! Read more
