We had the opportunity to explore energy through multiple means. The kids generated enough energy on the energy bike to light up light bulbs, power a mini fan, and a mini hair dryer! We looked at the different in the amount of energy needed to light incandescent versus florescent bulbs. The students were able to explore static electricity with the Van de Graaff generator! At other stations, the students used snap circuits to build different types of circuits with different receivers--buzzers, lights, fans, etc. The final station was an electro-magnetic motor in which the students tried to get wire that was hooked up to a battery source to move on its own using only a magnet.
