Description

Step into the shoes of an Energy Manager! In this strategic simulation, your mission is to keep the lights on while balancing budget, infrastructure, and environmental challenges. From solar panels to hydroelectric dams, explore the complexity of a modern power grid. Will you be able to prevent a blackout and lead the transition to a sustainable future?

Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Transfer of Electrical Energy. Suitable for Grade 3, Grade 4, Grade 5.

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.
The energy transmitted by mechanical processes, light, sound, and electrical current can be used in many common applications.
Heat transmits thermal energy from one place to another.
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.
Many electric circuits use a stored energy source, such as a battery, to produce electrical energy.
Devices with electric circuits can convert electrical energy into other forms of energy, such as motion, sound, heat, or light.
A light bulb transforms electrical energy into light energy.
Generators are devices that convert the energy of motion into electrical energy.
Solar panels can convert light energy from the Sun into 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

Where do you see or use energy in everyday life? What are three things at home or at school that require electricity to work? Where do you think the electricity that powers our lights, TVs, and appliances comes from before it reaches our buildings? What do you think it might mean when we say that energy "transforms"?

After the Game

What is the difference between an open circuit and a closed circuit, and what role does a switch play in controlling them? How do wind turbines or traditional generators use a magnet and the energy of motion (mechanical processes) to create electrical energy? Solar panels and wind turbines are great examples of clean energy, but they face a challenge called intermittency. Based on the game, what does intermittency mean, and why is it a challenge for powering a city? What were two examples of energy transformation that you learned in the game?
