Open Ended

What are the different sources of energy which are utilized to provide

electricity to households and the entire community?

Geothermal Power Plant

Nuclear Power Plant

Hydroelectric Power Plant

Wind Farm (Wind Energy)

Coal-Fired Power Plant

Solar Power Plant

Two Kinds of Energy Sources

In your Grade 7 TLE, you were able to learn about electrical supplies, materials, and tools. But, before electricity reaches the community, including your home, it undergoes series of processes.

These include generation, transmission, and distribution.

transformer, generation, transmission, distribution, and electricity

Every day, we are surrounded by one of the most important innovations of all time, the (1) ______________. (2) ________________ of electricity from power plants is a major factor that can be done by transmission and distribution lines. (3) _______________ lines are a high voltage line that carries electricity from power plant to the substation from it is further distributed to various areas for different purposes. (4) ____________ lines are low voltage lines that carry electricity from the substations to the end users for residential and commercial use.(5) _____________ on poles stepdown electricity before it enters houses.

Electrical energy is an indispensable part of our everyday activities. Without electricity, life is very challenging. Can you cite some ways how to conserve electricity at home?

Let's wrap up!
