Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Transfer of Electrical Energy. Suitable for Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.

Main Concepts

A generator consists of a turbine with a magnet that causes electricity to flow when it spins.

Electrical current transmits energy through moving electric charges.

Heat transmits thermal energy from one place to another.

The energy transmitted by mechanical processes, light, sound, and electrical current can be used in many common applications.

An electric circuit is a loop of conducting material around which electric current can flow.

Electric current can flow only around a closed electric circuit.

Solar panels can convert light energy from the Sun into electrical energy.

Generators are devices that convert the energy of motion into electrical energy.

A motor converts electrical energy into the energy of motion.

A light bulb transforms electrical energy into light energy.

Devices with electric circuits can convert electrical energy into other forms of energy, such as motion, sound, heat, or light.

Many electric circuits use a stored energy source, such as a battery, to produce electrical energy.

Humans have designed ways for electricity to flow as current.

Energy can be moved from place to place by electric currents.

Discussion Questions

Before the Game

What are two ways that humans use to power their cities? If you want to turn on the lights in a room, what do you need to do? What do you think is the function of the light switch?

After the Game

What is the difference between a material that is a conductor and one that is an insulator? What are two examples of energy conversions that you learned in the game? Thinking about all you learned in the game, how does a city provide electrical energy to power its homes and buildings?
