Electricity

The Blobz Guide to Electric Circuits is a neat series of interactive animations designed to help you learn how electric circuits work. There are five sections to the series. Each sections builds upon the lessons of the previous section. The series starts with the basics of what makes a circuit complete and concludes with diagramming and building circuits. Each section in the series has a few short lessons and is followed by an animated interactive activity to which you can apply what you have just learned.




Electrocity is an online game where you can learn about electricity production and consumption. In the game, you take on the role of mayor of a fictitious town. As the mayor, you will have to manage the consumption and production of electricity for the town. At each turn, you will be informed of whether or not you have successfully balanced consumption and production.



Hydro to Home is an interactive story of hydro-electric power from raindrops to homes. The story walks visitors through each step of the process of generating hydro-electric power and delivering to consumers' homes. The story is narrated and along the way there are interactive images that visitors can click on to learn even more information about hydro-electric power.





Engineering Interact is a site for elementary school students designed by the Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge. It offers five games designed to teach physics concepts. The games address concepts related to light, sound, motion, electricity, and space travel. Each of the five games presents you with a scenario in which you have to "help" someone solve a problem. The games require you to learn and analyze the information presented to them.
