Dear students,
You've been divided into couples. We have prepared more detailed guidline how to set to your research on certain power plant :
1.) Find five (5) different sources (books, newspaper or magazine articles, encyclopaedia, web pages, documentaries…).
2.) What resource does your power plant use (is it renewable or non-renewable and which type is it).
3.) How is your power plant constructed (which are the parts of it)?
For example : parts of the light on your bike are: generator, wires, light and the bulb.
4.) How does your power plant produce electricity (describe the whole process)?
For example: When you spin your pedals on the bike, the first wheel starts to spin around. This causes that the small wheel turns in the generator (dynamo). There is an axis in dynamo and this turns around as well. At the end of the axis there is a magnet inserted in a coil, and this magnet also turns around. Because of this spinning, the voltage (induction) is created. This causes an electric current which spreads via wires into the bulb.
5.) How much electricity do all power plants produce per day or year (in your country, of course)? (the ones of your kind altogether)? Try to find the % of all the energy produced.
6.) What effects does your power plant have on the environment? Describe them.
7:) The number of certain power plants: how many power plants are there in your country and where are they (include the map of France/Slovenia). Are there more and more such power plants in your county or not? Why?
Don't forget to write down your findings in the pre-prepared g-mail document.Write about them, do not just enumerate.
If you have any questions, please contact your teachers. :) We're here for further guidance or any help. Feel free to ask.
Good luck with your project!
Your teachers ;)
