Extractions: Opposites attract. Thats lightning! It is an electrical discharge between positive and negative regions of a thunderstorm. It was once only magical, mysterious, and misunderstood. However, we know much more about it today. Yet, for children, it is still magical and mysterious. Students will decide what they want to learn about lightning, how to go about finding their answers, and deciding what skills they need to further study some of their questions. Using Newtons Apple show #1513 LEARNING OBJECTIVES Students will: Build a knowledge of lightning and static electricity through video, hands-on demonstrations, the Internet, the library, and a guest speaker. Define and understand these vocabulary words: static electricity, charge, electrons, negative charge, positive charge, neutral charge, supersonic, conductor, insulator, attract, repel.

Extractions: April 2001 Electricity Dear Teacher, With summer on the way, why not spark your students' interest in electricity ? Help them understand what causes those crackling summer lightning storms. But no reason to stop there. Electricity causes static, allows us to communicate, and provides enormous amounts of power. We have lessons about all of these topics for intermediate, middle, and secondary students. You will also find related Web resources and literature tie-ins For the month of April, the PearsonAtSchool suggested titles below. Help your students get a charge out of science!
Extractions: An electric current flows when electrons are torn from atoms and move freely. Copper and other materials with loosely held electrons are conductors of electricity. Clay, rubber, and other materials with electrons tightly bound to their atoms are insulators. At hydroelectric plants, the power of falling water drives the blades of a spinning turbine, which causes a magnet to spin inside a coil of copper wires. The spinning magnet causes the electrons in the coil to move, creating a flow of electricity. A simple electromagnet can be made from copper wire, a battery, and a nail.

Extractions: Small Business and Environmental Assistance Education K-12 Air Lesson Plans Waste Lesson Plans ... TES 1999 Lesson Plans To discuss how electricity causes air pollution. Second Grade Classify, order, and sequence data. The student shall be given opportunities to: (B) classify matter and forces, organisms, actions, and events from the environment according to similarities and differences. To understand why saving energy helps stop air pollution. Walk over and turn the lights off, then tell the class that you are helping to stop air pollution. Then tell the class that since we need the lights right now, you will turn them back on. None Most of our electricity is produced in steam turbines. A power source, such as coal, gas, or oil, heats water in a boiler to produce hot, high-pressure steam. This steam expands against the blades of a turbine. A turbine is a device that spins when air or water is forced against it. You can think of it as a kind of enclosed windmill. The hot, expanding steam forces the turbine to spin. The spinning turbine then operates a generator that produces electricity. Tell the class you are going to tell a story about a wise old owl and his young pupil. Warn them that the story ends with a question that you will hope they will be able to answer.
Extractions: Small Business and Environmental Assistance Education K-12 Air Lesson Plans Waste Lesson Plans ... TES 1999 Lesson Plans The Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission's (TNRCC) emissions inventory collects information and provides estimates of pollution emitted by sources across the state. On a year to year basis, special inventories and updates are collected based on specific needs. Extensive emission inventories were completed in 1973 and 1990. Due to improvements in the methodologies in emissions calculations, the most recent estimates are the most reliable. Emissions sources include major and minor industry, on-road motor vehicles like cars, buses and construction equipment, and off-road motor vehicles like boats and planes. Industries are regulated on the amount of emissions they are allowed to emit. The 1990 Clean Air Act is a federal law covering the entire country, although the states do much of the work to carry out the Act. Under this law, the Environmental Protection Agency sets limits on how much of a pollutant can be in the air anywhere in the United States. This ensures that all Americans have the same basic health and environmental protections. The law allows individual states to have stronger pollution controls, but not weaker controls than those set for the whole country. Listed below are the emissions data for eight areas in Texas.

Extractions: The Library of Congress THANK YOU, MR. EDISON Electricity, Innovation, and Social Change Robert Gabrick and Barbara Markham In Electrifying America: Social Meanings of a New Technology, David E. Nye argues, "A technology is not merely a system of machines with certain functions; it is part of a social world. Electrification is not an implacable force moving through history, but a social process that varies from one time period to another and from one culture to another" (p. ix). Nye continues, "Americans adopted electrical technologies in a wide range of social, political, economic, and aesthetic contexts, weaving them into the fabric of experience" (p. x). Using documents from American Memory, plus supplementary material, students investigate electrification as both a technological and social process. A focus of the student's investigation is Thomas Edison, because, as Nye contends, "Electricity was the sign of Edison's genius, the wonder of the age, the hallmark of progress" (p. 1).
