Energy Unit study day 2!

• We will discuss the History of electricity 
• Visit this site:  http://kids.saveonenergy.ca/en/what-is-electricity/history_andremarie_ampere.html 
• And watch: Magic School Bus Season 3 episode 5

We will start by talking about electricity and how it has a past! We will visit the link above to learn a little about some of the people who had a hand in creating it and where the terms we use come from.

Then we will watch Magic School bus on energy.

Also, as part of our unit study my 10 year old has been working on building a solar robot. We purchased a kit that is capable of making 14 different robots all run by solar energy.

So, we have been working hard and here is the first robot he built! We had a sunny day today so we were able to really see it go! Now we will start working on creating the other robots in the kit as we continue to learn about energy and specifically solar!
