Elementary – Cycle 3
00Watt toolkit
Join the investigation!
With the help of Inspector 00Watt and his toolkit full of scientific investigations, games and experiments, show your students how they can become conservation ambassadors.
This project, spread over five weeks,*helps students
- learn how hydroelectricity is generated
- understand how much energy we consume
- find ways to avoid wasting energy
*Plan about 2 hours of activities per week. You will need the toolkit's contents to conduct activities during the first four weeks.
The 00Watt Classroom Toolkit uses a playful, interactive approach that meets the objectives of the MELSQ's Québec Education Program.
Reserve now, the number of toolkits is limited!
Cost: Free!

Experiment demonstrating the driving force of water
By creating different drop heights, youngsters discover the phenomenon of water?s driving force, then study how a hydroelectric generating station works. -
Game: An adventure right down the line
Students are asked to connect, in the right order, various facilities used in a power system, from the generating site to where electricity is consumed. -
Energy consumption investigation
Youngsters investigate their own energy consumption (and their family's) in various everyday situations. Thermometers in hand, they gather information for analysis.
-
Wattmeter experiment
Students measure and compare the energy consumption of various electrical appliances and become familiar with the notion of energy-wise vs. power-hungry appliances. -
Game: Mystery objects
Youngsters learn about a variety of energy-saving products by playing an electronic memory game. -
Electricity quiz
Students create a quiz as an introduction to electrical connections. The theme is the environmental consequences of using batteries.
