Resources & Energy
by Anonymous
Burn oil and watch the gauge fall, then mix solar, wind, and hydro to keep the town powered even at night while cutting monthly use.
About this app
Resources & Energy is an interactive elementary science app about limited resources, renewable energy, and electricity conservation. Explore how freely using oil, coal, or natural gas reduces remaining supplies, combine solar, wind, and hydro power to meet electricity targets throughout the day, and adjust everyday habits to lower monthly electricity use.
Use cases
- Elementary students learning about fossil fuels and renewable energy
- Teachers demonstrating resource depletion and energy supply in class
- Families discussing practical ways to save electricity
- Learners practicing cause-and-effect through simple energy experiments
Features
- Compare free use and saving for oil, coal, and natural gas across simulated years
- Adjust solar, wind, and hydro power at morning, noon, evening, and night
- Test whether renewable-energy combinations meet a power target of 15
- Change lighting, refrigerator, and air-conditioner habits
- Track simulated monthly electricity use in kWh
- Complete guided missions in three sections: Use It, Lose It; What Refills; and Use Less
