Power up! A series of six lessons introduce middle schoolers to the different types of energy. PowerPoints, activities, and hands-on experiments teach young electrical engineers the difference between energy and power, as well as the attraction and repulsion of magnets. Class members build wind turbines and compare them to solar panels to determine what variables affect output. It's an electrifying unit.
