I think electricity gets to our homes from a huge generator which connects to the power lines. The power line connects to our houses which provides us electricity. This hypothesis is based off my background knowledge of what I see when I pass by the power lines.

Jessica.H

3/7/2018 08:20:45 pm

@Emily Z.- How does the power line connect to our houses

Emily Z.

3/7/2018 08:41:30 pm

Revised Version:

I think electricity gets to our homes from a huge generator which connects to the power lines. The wires from the power line connect to a thing called a service drop which is on the outside of your house. The electricity goes to the service panel. This hypothesis is based off my background knowledge of what I think when I pass by the power lines.

Aaron

3/7/2018 06:18:45 pm

I'm bored so I'm going to do this PAR.

Solar panels, Hydroelectric dams/generators, windmills, nuclear power plants, generators or steam power plants.

I think electricity is brought to us using power lines above and underground.

Jerry

3/7/2018 06:27:39 pm

I think that you can produce electricity with windmills, river, nuclear, tidal waves and solar panels. There are wires connected to the generators and the wires transport the electricity to our houses.

Jerry

3/7/2018 06:41:28 pm

I hypothesis that the power lines are controlled to the generators. The electricity passes from the generators to the power lines. The power lines travel from the plant to our house, then get divided into the outlets.
Ta-da you have electricity!

1. Solar Power
2. Windmills
3. Hydroelectricity dams

Electricity is conducted by using the physical power or energy in my opinion. Windmills and hydroelectricity dams conduct energy by using the power of the wind and water. Solar energy comes from the sun. I’m not really sure how they got the energy from it though. That would be a good inquiry question! It would travel to our homes by using the power lines found on poles and even underground.

(This was so hard because the answers are all up there :/ I think I did a good job doing this myself.)

Emily Z.

3/7/2018 08:43:17 pm

@Stephanie- How do the power lines connect electricity to our houses?

Miles

3/7/2018 06:43:19 pm

P.A.R -
I think electricity gets to our houses by running power lines through the air, and underground that are connected to a large hydroelectric dam. I also believe that BC Hydro has more then one large dam. And for some alternate ways to produce electricity here are generators, solar panels, windmills, natural gas plants, and nuclear plants.

I'm guessing wires are the thing that allows electricity to flow into our houses. Like the wires that is on a power line.

Kenton

1. Solar Panels
2. Windmills
3. Water generators

I am pretty sure electricity passed around the country by large. thick and strong wires.

Naomi

3/7/2018 08:10:04 pm

Since we're supposed to ask a question...

Where do you think they put the wires?

Issac

3/7/2018 07:20:34 pm

1) Windmill
2) Solar panels
3) Rubbing balloon on head

If electricity is generated in their own country, then each country gets their electricity from their own power lines.

Eason

There are several ways electricity can be produced. First, fast running water can turn turbines to produce electricity. Fast flowing wind also can turn wind mills to produce electricity. The sun gives us the solar energy and it can be changed into power. Gas and steam can also make power. Other things, such as coal, can produce power when being burned. The power produced is then stored into devices and then shipped to our homes through power lines.

David

3/7/2018 07:46:49 pm

1. Solar panels generate electricity from the sunlight
2. Hydroelectric dams use a water-driven turbine to create energy
4. Oil plants burn oil to produce energy
3. Coal plants burn coal to produce energy
5. Nuclear reactors split atoms to create energy

Electricity is brought from power stations through power lines to a transformer, which converts the energy to higher power so it can be sent along longer lines to a substation, which converts the electricity into lower volts, which is then sent along power cables to a smaller transformer, which converts it into even smaller volts, making it safe to use in your house through to a service panel in your home, which prevents an electrical overload. So that light over your head is being powered by electrons that traveled hundreds of kilometres. Cool.
I'm hoping that's correct... if not, then I wasted your time. Sorry.

I think electricity can be produced through coal, dams, and windmills. I think that energy is sent through the power lines shadowing our world.

So where does electricity come from? I have a hypothesis as to where it comes from. I think that one of the places it could come from is a dam because we have BC Hydro. From what I know, hydro means water and dams use water. I know that water is a conductor of electricity. The second place I think that our electricity comes from is solar panels. We might not get too many sunny days here, (we get a lot of rain) but in other parts of the world, it's really sunny. Another place that I think we could get our electricity from is windmills. This is kind of unrelated but at my old house, I had a direct view of a windmill (on Grouse Mountain). I know that in some places it gets really windy so I infer that this is an effective way to create power in windy places like Southern Alberta. The last place that I think we could get our power from is nuclear power plants. I pretty much know that this is a way to get electricity because "power" is in the name. Another reason why I know this is because of the Simpsons (Yes I watch that show don't judge me). Anyways, those are the ways that I think people around the world get their electricity. Thanks for reading!

Nicole

Well, learning about electricity was quite fun, I enjoyed it quite a bit. Some ways people generate electricity is with windmills, generators, and dams. The electricity is transferred around places through transmission lines, to the power lines, and then to the consumers of the power.

Naomi

3/7/2018 08:02:48 pm

RIver dams
Solar power
Those odd looking fan things that get pushed by the wind (I think they’re windmills or something?)

I think that every area/province/small-country (Because there’s BC hydro, I’m assuming there’s some sort of generator for Alberta too.) has a form of Dam, Windmills, and Solar panels, which they connect to power-lines and run to our houses.

Small quantities of electricity can also be created by slides? I always used to get shocked on the way down the slide, as a kid.

Nicole

3/7/2018 08:10:53 pm

@ Naomi - So I have to ask a question about your post... uhh... would the electricity on the slide be static electricity?

Naomi

3/7/2018 08:13:28 pm

Yeah, I think.

I think that every small area, or province has some form of Dam, Windmill, or Solar panel, which they connect to power-lines and run to their houses.

Another thing that creates electricity are slides, oddly enough. When I was younger the playground would always 'zap' me with static electricity.

I think electricity is produced by the following:
~Coal power plants
~Nuclear power plants
~Windmills/turbines
~Hydroelectric dams
~Solar panels

I think that the electricity travels through power lines to get to our homes. Some power lines are run through the air, but some are run underground (like in Richmond). These power lines run from the power plant to the city. I think that different places in the world would have different electrical companies to generate electricity. They can generate electricity using many different methods such as coal power plants, nuclear power plants, windmills/turbines, hydroelectric dams, and solar panels.

1.) Windmills.
2.) Power lines.
3.) Solar powers.
Sorry was kind of rushed didn't really read the criteria properlly.

Karman

3/7/2018 08:55:36 pm

1.) Solar panels. They generate electrons from the sun
2.) Hydroelectricity. The use of Hydropower plants create electricity
3.) Windmills. Likely in everyone's P.A.R
4.) Steam
5.) Generators

I believe the electricity comes mainly from windmills and solar panels or fundamentally power stations in general that travel into power-lines both above and under sea level.

2.) Windmills
3.) Water

How I think that electricity gets throughout North America is from an above or underground area or multiple areas. I think the electric poles that we see basically everywhere connects to our houses, to stores, etc. give us electricity. The solar panels on top of our houses or around it somehow get power from the power lines and transfer into the place, seems like it's the same around North America.

1.Dynamos and Generators
2.Hydroelectric Power
3.Windmills
4.Solar Power

I think how electricity get into our house is,at first the electricity through the power station. And when you look up at your house,you should see the power lines. And I guess how it actually worked is the wire connected with the power station and once the power line had electricity in it,it can goes through every street. Also,I think the wire is going to connected to our house and it gonna through the power line and come to our house and which can helped us a lot on cooking,cleaning or other thing else.

Electricity is energy. To make lectricity, usually we first make a different kind of energy using friction- heat, which is much easier to create. We do this with spinning windmills, running water, and plenty of other things, cars, for example, use the friction of the spinning tires to charge it's battery. Then the electricity traveles throught wires throughout citys, like in our light the lightbulb expirement, exept scaled up by about a million and powering thousands upon thousands of light bulbs, not to mention all the washers and ovens and devices and elevators and... I think you get the point.
