They&#8217;ll be given an easy-to-understand explanation of how hydropower is produced at dams and why it is a valuable renewable energy resource. Students will be put into 5 teams to build small turbines using various materials. They will then test the turbines by pouring water over them to see which is most effective in producing electricity.<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-home-news-default-image-size wp-image-42435\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crpud.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_6691-cropped-435x370.jpg\" alt=\"Two staff members give an electrical safety demonstration using Zapsville.\" width=\"435\" height=\"370\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crpud.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_6691-cropped-435x370.jpg 435w, https:\/\/www.crpud.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_6691-cropped-800x681.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.crpud.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_6691-cropped-340x289.jpg 340w, https:\/\/www.crpud.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_6691-cropped.jpg 1047w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 435px) 100vw, 435px\" \/><\/li>\n<li><strong>Electricity Science and Safety &#8211;<\/strong> In the first half of this presentation, students will learn what electricity is, where it comes from and how it travels to us. They will be put into 8 teams to construct simple circuits using batteries and light bulbs. They will gain an understanding of closed and open circuits, and insulators and conductors. The second half will focus on how to stay safe around electricity both in and outdoors. Our electrical safety display will be used to educate students on hazardous electrical situations outside and how to prevent them. The crackle of high voltage electrical arcs will reinforce the safety messages we want them to learn and share with their families.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Teacher Feedback<\/h2>\n<div>Here are some comments we received from teachers who had these presentations done in their classrooms:<\/div>\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;I am very happy that they came to visit.
