Electrical Energy Can Be Transferred and Transformed (2hr)

2 hour

Our Rangers will happily work around your bell times and scheduled breaks to create a schedule that suits your school day.

Introduction (Approx. 45 mins)

Our Electricity Show is a Ranger Jamie favourite, packed with exciting demonstrations including UV light investigations, a human circuit activity, and a spectacular finale where 1,000 ping-pong balls launch into the air!

Activity 1: Electrical Windmills

Students race against the clock in this thrilling STEM challenge to build working electrical windmills. Using batteries and specialised equipment, they generate wind energy and test who can power theirs first.

Activity 2: Solar Ovens

Students explore thermal energy as they design and test their own solar ovens. They compare materials and investigate heat conduction! Whose solar oven will reach the highest temperature?

ST3-SCI-01 uses evidence to explain how scientific knowledge can be used to develop sustainable practices;
ST3-PQU-01 poses questions to identify variables and conducts fair tests to gather data;
ST3-DAT-01 interprets data to support explanations and arguments;
ST3-DDT-01 uses design processes to create, evaluate and modify designed solutions ST3-DDT-02 creates, evaluates and modifies algorithms to code or control digital devices and systems;
ST3-CWT-01 creates written texts to communicate understanding of scientific and technological concepts and processes.

Electrical energy can be transferred and transformed

• Recognise that an electrical circuit transfers electrical energy from a source, through a pathway, to a device that transforms electrical energy into other forms of energy;
• Plan and construct simple electrical circuits to model the transfer and transformation of energy;
• Pose questions, identify variables and safely conduct fair tests to identify materials that act as electrical conductors or insulators;
• Explain how electrical insulators can ensure electrical safety in everyday life;
• Identify renewable and non-renewable energy sources;
• Research and present information describing the impact on resources and the environment of using a renewable or a non-renewable resource to generate electricity.

The cost of this science-fuelled adventure is $990.00 + GST Flat Rate per 2hr Session.

We recommend one session for up to 60 students. If you have more students, we suggest booking an additional session so everyone gets the best experience.

This price includes:

• A pre-completed Risk Assessment to make planning easy;
• Full administrative support from our team;
• All materials and equipment provided, you bring the kids, we’ll bring… well, everything else;
• Enthusiastic and knowledgeable Rangers leading the fun;
• A syllabus-aligned program designed to deliver real learning in a hands-on, exciting way.
