(It is recommended that the Chernobyl Empathy associated activity be conducted in advance of this lesson so students gain an understanding of how devastating nuclear meltdowns can be and the importance of responsible engineering, especially with complex and potentially dangerous projects. Then in this lesson, students complete a virtual field trip [by visiting four websites] that focuses on how nuclear power works, nuclear power plant components and safety procedures, and pro/con debate issues. In advance of conducting the lesson:
Have you ever wondered what happens inside a nuclear power plant? How is electricity generated by radioactive elements? Today, we will go on a virtual tour of the nuclear power generation process, so be sure to look and listen so that you can make observations and inferences about the processes involved. We will draw some overall conclusions at the end of the lesson.
Humans have invented all sorts of ways to generate electric power, including capturing wind in turbines and by electro-chemical processes in photovoltaic cells. But what other methods do we have? Looking to the future, we want to explore any other forms of energy generation that are convenient, easy to acquire and dispatchable.
Students learn and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of renewable and non-renewable energy sources. They also learn about our nation's electric power grid and what it means for a residential home to be "off the grid."
Student groups are given captioned photographs of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant facility and surrounding towns taken before and 28 years after the 1986 disaster. This activity assists students in gaining an understanding of how devastating nuclear meltdowns can be, which underscores the importa...
This lesson provides students with an overview of the electric power industry in the United States. Students also become familiar with the environmental impacts associated with a variety of energy sources.
Electricity? We are surrounded by it! In this simulation, you will learn the very basics of electricity. What is the difference between charge, current, and voltage? How do we know what light bulb or battery do we need to use? You will find it all in this simulation, plus, you will be able to see the effects of different components in your circuit!
By understanding how electricity works, you will be able to create a circuit to restore the power supply to the lab and allow the scientists to keep working! Sometimes turning on the lights is not as easy as just pressing a switch. Help the scientists by providing a temporary solution while the lights are repaired.
You will be able to build a circuit, and see how different voltages and currents will have different outcomes. What difference would it make to use a 20 volts battery or a 6 volts battery? Will a light bulb be able to work with both of them? You will discover it in this simulation.
You will be able to slow things down and see how electricity behaves, build your circuit and see the effects of adding different components. Will you be capable of bringing the lights back to the lab?

Use our energy storage management features for lucrative energy arbitrage, ancillary services (FCR, aFRR, mFRR), or simply cover local consumption. Fusebox software automates collaboration among local production and consumption assets, while staying within grid connection capacity.
Attract new clients, enhance customer retention rates, and leave competitors in the dust by offering new services, creative ways to share earnings, and flexible ways to calculate extra value. Create value through PV curtailment during negative prices, offer ancillary services, managing energy storage, load covering, energy arbitrage and much more.
Our mission is to enable a sustainable and affordable energy transition by turning conventional electrical appliances into virtual batteries. This new and highly controllable dimension makes the electricity system more robust and less dependent on polluting peaker power plants. The outcome is a cleaner future with lower energy prices and higher energy security.
We use our Virtual labs to give insight into complex energy and mobility systems.
We use scientific modeling methods and practical big data to make our labs realistic. Thus, we are able to get a grip on the challenges that lie ahead of us
in the energy and mobility transition.
With the Energy transition lab, a regional energy system can be simulated and future scenarios can be assessed. Such an energy system can contain heating supply, electricity supply, distribution, and storage. By making use of geographical data we get a grip on spatial development and stay close to reality.
With the SparkCity lab, the energy and mobility system of an urban or industrial area can be simulated. We look at the behavior of inhabitants, workers and drivers to get a realistic image of the energy and mobility demand. Thus, the synergy between technology, people and spatial layout can be clarified.
With the Smart mobility lab we can simulate freight and passenger transport. You can for instance compare the benefits of electric truck fleets with hydrogen truck fleets, like the picture on the left. We look at driving and charging/fueling behavior of drivers to get a realistic image of fleet behavior.
ElectricVLab employs the technology of video games to explore the fascinating world of electricity and electronics. It can be viewed as an electronics kit implemented in software. It offers an extensive collection of analog and digital electronic components to build circuits. It employs 3D graphics, visual effects, and animations to provide informative, visually rich feedback about the functioning of the circuits.
ElectricVLab can be viewed as an electronics kit implemented in software. It offers a great collection of analog and digital electronic components to build circuits. It employs 3D graphics, visual effects, and animations to provide informative, visually rich feedback about the functioning of the circuits.
Unlike a physical electronics kit, in ElectricVLab, you get an unlimited supply of components. You can easily customize the components to produce virtually infinite variations. Also, unlike a physical electronics kit, there is no soldering or the risk of permanently damaging the components. You can easily build and modify your circuits in an interactive 3D graphics environment. As a result, it is an excellent tool for experimentation and learning by playing.
Besides providing various electronic components, ElectricVLab also contains virtual instruments such as oscilloscopes, voltmeters, and ammeters. In addition to regular electronic components, ElectricVLab contains various fun components such as fireworks, flames, fountains, etc.
We help businesses, schools, homes, and enthusiasts with their needs in Robotics, Drones, 3D Printers, STEM and Electronic Kits, Raspberry PI, Arduino, Virtual Reality, Mobile Gadgets, IoT, and AI Innovations.
Incorporate TECHNOLOGY into your next electricity lesson with this PRINT & GO virtual lab activity and web-quest (with answer key). This activity gives students the opportunity to practice building simple series and parallel circuits via an online virtual lab. No set-up required! Just print and go.
This activity takes students to 3 websites. For the first two sites, I have provided questions that students will answer by reading through the content provided on the site. The third site is an interactive virtual lab where students will practice building series and parallel circuits and manipulating them in a cause and effect fashion. Students will also be able to observe the relationship between resistance, current, and voltage and manipulate the circuits to visualize what happens to one component if another is altered. I have provided questions and a checklist that will guide students through this virtual lab while assessing student understanding as they progress. I find this activity to be extremely beneficial in my own classroom as I teach my electricity unit!
I decided to put together a Google Form with a list of various materials that could be used for static electricity experiments so that students could indicate what they had around the house. I used their feedback to create a list of different experiments students could complete at home.
