Help me give my students a chance to explore electricity generation and how much they use everyday! Students in my AP and general level Environmental Science courses will enjoy the chance to explore their energy use!
Many students have not considered where their electricity comes from or how it is generated. In Environmental Science, it is important for students to consider how we use energy and the environmental impacts of the different energy sources.
Students will use the mini generator apparatus to explore how we generate electricity in power plants and renewable energy sources.
This hands-on experience will bring the text and models they are studying to life! This will allow students to consider ways we can generate electricity that are renewable for the future.
They will then use the Kilowatt meters to measure and calculate the energy consumption of our appliances. This activity helps students grasp how much energy they are using and ways they can conserve energy to conserve resources and protect our planet.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
