Instructions

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

Main Concepts

Energy can be moved from place to place by electric currents.
Energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be transported and transferred between objects.
Generators are devices that convert the energy of motion into electrical energy.
The expression “produce energy” typically refers to the conversion of stored energy into a desired form for practical use.
It is important to be able to concentrate and transport energy so that it is available for use where and when it is needed.
Electricity generated by power plants is transferred from place to place through distribution systems.

Discussion Questions

Before the Game

In this game you will earn about different types of energy. What kind of energy do you think that a fire produces? What is a type of energy that we use every day? How can different forms of energy help us in our daily lives? What is an example of mechanical energy? What is an example of heat energy? What is an example of kinetic energy?

After the Game

Can energy be created? How do wind turbines help product energy? How were the wind turbines shown in the game important for the environment? How was energy converted from coal to electricity? Be sure to include the types of energy that coal was converted to along the way. Which type of energy releases the most greenhouse gases into the atmosphere? Which type of energy does not release any greenhouse gases into the atmosphere? What happens if humans continuously use coal in excessive amounts? Besides batteries, what are some other sources of chemical energy?
