ENERGY TRANSFER: MOTORS, GENERATORS,
AND SOURCES OF ELECTRICITY
Kit #213

Students explore the relationship between, and practical applications of, electricity and
magnets . They use a battery, a magnet, and a coiled wire to build a simple electric motor and
then use a pre-assembled electric motor to generate electric current . In Activity 2, students
read about how electricity is generated for home and commercial use . They compare the
methods and equipment needed to convert energy carried by renewable and nonrenewable
resources into electric current .

Six D-cell batteries required but not included with the kit.

COMPARING THE ENERGY
EFFICIENCY OF DIFFERENT
LIGHT BULBS

Kit #206RS — Developed by SEPUP
Students use a unique piece of equipment to collect data and
compare the efficiencies of a small incandescent bulb and a
small LED bulb . They use their measurements to calculate the
efficiency of the bulbs to produce light by measuring how
much “waste” thermal energy is produced . They also compare
“lifetime costs” for different types of bulbs and consider the
trade-offs involved when deciding which type of bulb to
purchase .
Accommodates unlimited classes, each with 8 groups of four students.
