Students will be introduced to, and use a series circuit to explore the effects of increased demand on a limited supply of energy.
The Energy Coalition will send you transformers, light bulbs, light bulb stands, wire strippers, and insulated copper wire to bring this lesson to life.
Lesson Objective: Students will understand the concept of peak demand time and know why it is important to shift energy use off of peak demand hours.
Suggested Teaching Time: 65 minutes
NGSS Standards: 3-PS2-3., 3-5-ETS1-3.
