Tracy Fugere email: Tracy Fugere |
“The Story Behind the Switch” is a 45-minute program about electricity presented by a Basin Electric demonstrator - explaining what electricity is, how it is made, how it gets to where it’s going and how it has become part of our lives.
About 20 minutes of the program is dedicated to questions from students and hands-on demonstrations.
Supplementing the program are actual samples of high-voltage transmission line conductors and other hardware.
Students can examine pulverized coal that is burned in power plants to generate electricity.
The program teaches children about conductors, current, insulators, voltage and other related topics. including electrical safety near water, kite flying and tree climbing safety precautions near power lines, and operating farm equipment near power lines
