Imagine that in order to play computer games, listen to music, or talk on the phone, you first had to find a way to generate the electricity to power your electronic devices. Most people in the United States access electricity simply by plugging into a wall outlet or flipping a switch. Their homes are connected to power plants through the electrical grid, an extensive network of cables and wires that carry electrical current. However, whether by choice or by circumstance, some people are detached from this grid. This interactive activity produced for Teachers' Domain presents three such scenarios and challenges users to design systems that will generate electricity by harnessing the wind.

Electricity changed from a curiosity to a central concern of science and technology in 1800, when Alessandro Volta invented the electric battery. Batteries make use of the internal properties of different metals to turn chemical energy directly into electric energy.

This video provides an overview of the National Wind Technology Center and its research. "We have been harnessing the wind's energy for hundreds of years. From old Holland to farms in the United States, windmills have been used for pumping water or grinding grain. Today, the windmill's modern equivalent—a wind turbine—can use the wind's energy to generate electricity." (05:49)

In 1884, Serbian engineer Nikola Tesla came to America with little more than the clothes on his back. Within 20 years, he developed the system that would provide electricity to every home in the nation; invented a type of motor that's still used in all sorts of electric devices; and came up with most of the components used in radio and television broadcasting. In this BrainPOP movie, you'll discover how Tesla's alternating current system displaced the direct current system developed by Thomas Edison, how his induction motor changed everything, and why he remained an obscure figure until just recently. (07:08)

In this video segment adapted from NOVA, learn about photovoltaics and see how two families are using solar technologies in their homes. First, an animation illustrates the process within solar panels that transforms sunlight into electricity. Then meet Phil Reavis, Jr., who explains his interest in solar energy and the environment, and how his family was able to install solar panels on the roof of their house to produce electricity. In addition, tour the custom-designed home of Bill and Debbie Lord, which uses both solar electricity panels and solar hot water panels, and learn about state incentives and net metering benefits. Run time 03:55.

Importance of Building the Hoover Dam - The Hoover Dam is a critical asset to those who live all across the American Southwest: city dwellers, farmers and ranchers. Constructed over two years in the early 1930's, the dam provides a consistent water flow to communities and farms downriver. Water passing through the dam also provides electricity for millions of Americans. (04:30)

In this video segment adapted from NOVA, learn about a new solar technology being developed to make solar electricity more affordable. Nathan Lewis, a chemist at the California Institute of Technology, describes how nanotechnology can be used to capture the energy from sunlight in new ways. Investigate how solar paint technology, using titanium oxide processed into nanotubes, could convert sunlight into electricity using relatively cheap materials and offer a solution to the global energy crisis. Hear about early tests of the new technology and how it needs to be further developed. Run time 03:01.

From towers to dishes to linear mirrors to troughs, concentrating solar power (CSP) technologies reflect and collect solar heat to generate electricity. A single CSP plant can generate enough power for about 90,000 homes. This video explains what CSP is, how it works, and how systems like parabolic troughs produce renewable power.

We live in an energy-dependent world. When we start the engines of our cars or turn on the heat in our homes, we are using fossil fuels such as petroleum (crude oil), natural gas, or coal. As the fuel burns, cars move and our houses warm. The carbon compounds in the fuels break down and carbon dioxide is released. We also use a great deal of electricity – and the production of electricity also creates a great deal of carbon dioxide by much the same process. Each year, estimates show that all the things every American does produces almost 19 metric tons of carbon dioxide. That's about 41,900 pounds of carbon dioxide. Sixty years ago (in 1950), the total for every American was about 4 metric tons, or just under 9,000 pounds. What has changed? Find out by exploring the objects in each street scene. One scene shows a typical town in 1930. The other shows a town of today.

In this video, Huckle and Lowly learn about windmills and wind. Windmills use the power of wind to harness the strength it brings. Windmills can do many jobs with their power. Windmills can generate electricity or pump water. Wind makes the windmill go round. This is a great teaching resource to introduce wind and its ability to work. Students will enjoy this short video (1:06).
