Electricity Webquest
Introduction
At 1:30 in the morning on a snowy night in January, the electricity suddenly goes out. The house begins to get cold, so you bundle up with more blankets. Then you realize that you may not be able to wake up in the morning if the electricity does not come back on soon because your alarm clock doesn't work without electricity. And what about breakfast? How will you cook that Pop Tart without electricity?
Hope you like cold showers because without electricity there is no way to warm the water in the water heater. What comes to mind when you find yourself suddenly in complete darkness? Fear probably happens first. But when you see there is nothing to fear, you usually begin to have questions about electricity. It's easy to forget how much we rely on electricity until we don't have the use of it.
What can you learn from studying electricity? Where does electricity come from? How does electricity make your alarm clock, toaster, and water heater work? That is what you will find out in this WebQuest.
