Energy

Popcan Porsche

grade 5-energy-motion-friction-kinetic energy-potential energy-lever

Build a compound machine out of a popcan that converts potential energy to kinetic energy. As the can rolls, the potential energy that is stored in the wound rubber band is transformed into motion (kinetic energy) and heat. The can will roll if the energy stored in the wound rubber band produces a force great enough to overcome the force of friction between the bead and the disk and between the can and the floor.

Alternative Energy

alternative energy-energy-electricity-battery-resources-circuit-electron-renewable-wind-water-solar-green-grade 4-grade 5-grade 6

In this lesson, students will explore methods of converting primary energy sources into electrical energy. Using renewable (green) and non-renewable energy sources, students will generate electrical currents. At the end of the lesson, students will compare renewable and non-renewable energy sources in British Columbia and pursue creative alternatives for clean energy.

Solar Energy

solar-sun-energy-photosynthesis-plants-light-heat-alternative energy-electricity-kindergarten-grade 1-grade 2-grade 3-grade 4-grade 5-grade 6

While investigating the power of the sun, students will discuss methods of protecting themselves from the sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation. They will explore solar thermal energy by examining a radiometer, playing with a solar UFO and creating solar ovens. They will use photovoltaic cells to power small motors.
