Synopsis
- This interactive resource introduces young learners to nuclear power, explaining that it splits uranium atoms to make electricity.
- Through illustrations, analogies, games, jokes, and discussion questions, students learn about nuclear power as a clean energy source that powers homes and protects the planet.
Teaching Materials
Classroom Implementation:
- Draw out students' prior knowledge by asking questions about why they think clean energy is good for the environment.
- Pause in slide 7 and, as a class, explore the classroom/school building to find devices using electricity; then, sort the devices into categories (e.g., lighting, food).
Extensions:
- Use the additional resources listed to dive deeper into nuclear energy and engage in interactive activities and videos.
- Research your local region's electricity sources and categorize them into renewables and non-renewables.
Related Resources:
- Follow this unit plan to teach students about renewable energy using math, science, ELA, and social studies.
- Adapt this lesson plan to your local context to engage students in a challenge to meet electricity needs while preserving resources for the future.
