Below is just one group of students who recently tried their hand at powering up light bulbs with the human powered generator. All of these first grade students took turns lighting up both an incandescent or regular bulb and also an energy efficient CFL bulb.
All of the kids agreed if they had to keep one bulb lit up for 10 minutes, they would rather power the CFL. The generator provided a great visual since normally you cannot really see energy or a power source so it gave the students a good comparison of the amount of energy needed to light up these bulbs.
This was just one classroom of the dozens around the school district that have been checking out this cool SEE activity the past couple of weeks. Since the Energy Game Show is geared more for the upper primary grades through adults, this was a fun activity for the younger students. Stay tuned for more up-dates from energy adventures out and about in the schools this fall.
