Once you are done log into Socrative and answer warm up.
Homework answers 9. Formed when a wire in an electric circuit is wrapped around an iron core ,produces a TEMPORARY magnetic field 10. add more coils, have a larger iron core, add more batteries or add a bigger battery Once you are done log into Socrative and answer warm up.

EQ: How does a generator produce an electric current?
Type the EQ on your board. If you have brown hair, please tell me the EQ. If you have blonde hair, please tell me the EQ. If you have red or black hair, please tell me the EQ. Any other hair colors!? Please tell me the EQ. Select the 4 most important words. What will you know at the end of class?

Lesson Importance: WHY?
Why do you need to know…..How does a generator produce an electric current? Think….Not to be a scientist Think…. Not in the future Think…of a specific answer Tell your group your answer. Type your answer into Socrative.
5
Parts of a generator: Coils of wire wrapped around an iron core Magnets
6
Generators Generators: Produce an electric current when a coil of wire wrapped around an iron core is rotated near a magnet
7
The coil of wire wrapped around an iron core is rotated near a stationary magnet.
Sometimes the magnet rotates. A generator transforms mechanical kinetic energy into electrical energy!!! You have static electricity…..just like using a comb to pick up tiny pieces of paper
9
What kind of energy do the rotating magnets OR the rotating coil of wire wrapped around an iron core supply to the generator??? Type your answer into Socrative. MECHANICAL Kinetic
10
Generators at power plants produce electric energy for our homes
Generators at power plants produce electric energy for our homes. Carbon-based fuels (AKA fossil fuels) come from dead plants & animals buried over thousands of years are burned to power generator plants. Ex: gasoline & coal & oil

mechanical energy electrical energy
Smaller generators can be powered by gasoline.

What makes the magnets rotate
What makes the magnets rotate? Turbines = huge wheels that rotate because they are pushed by water, wind or steam
