Harnessing Energy Through Wind and Solar Systems

Ms. Julay guides students through parts 1 and 2 of the Harnessing Human Energy Simulation. In part 1, students familiarize themselves with the energy simulation by building a system using wind energy. They learn about energy transfer through various components like flywheels, generators, motors, and batteries. In part 2, students use solar energy to build a system that powers an LED light. The video concludes with instructions for the next activity, which involves answering questions about the simulation.

What is the main goal of part 1 of the activity?

• To familiarize with the energy simulation

• To answer questions about energy transfer

• To build a solar energy system

• To complete a complex energy system

Which component is added first when building the wind energy system?

• Generator

• Motor

• Flywheel

• Battery

What must be considered when building a system for it to work properly?

• The system must have a motor

• The system must have a battery

• The end must match like a puzzle

• The system must use wind energy

In the wind energy system, what happens after the energy is transferred to the generator?

• It is transferred to the LED light

• It is transferred to the solar panel

• It is transferred to the motor

• It is transferred to the flywheel

What is the final outcome when the battery drains in the wind energy system?

• The generator stops

• The motor stops

• The flywheel spins faster

• The light shines

What energy source is used in the second simulation?

• Water

• Geothermal

• Sun

• Wind

Which component is used to capture energy from the sun in the solar energy system?

• Flywheel

• Generator

• Solar panel

• Battery

What is the purpose of raising the energy level to 90 in the solar energy system?

• To power the motor

• To make the flywheel spin faster

• To charge the battery fully

• To ensure the LED light shines brightly

What is the next task after completing the simulation activity?

• Write a report on energy transfer

• Watch another video tutorial

• Answer two questions about the simulation

• Build another energy system
