Captain Current

Do you have what it takes to defeat an electricity vampire? With the help of Captain Current, we’ll show you how to track down where energy is wasted and learn how to battle these voltage villains.

This dynamic new mobile assembly program includes a science show, hands-on activities and pre- and post-program materials. Focused on energy and energy efficiency, the program introduces students to sources of energy, how energy is generated and transmitted, and how we can become better ambassadors of energy conservation.
 
Curriculum Connections:
Grades K-3: electricity flow, circuits, solar energy
Grades 4-5: electrical energy, energy transfer, conductors & insulators
Grades 6-8: energy transformations, transmission, energy sources
  
"We loved the program and the review of content and hands-on activities was wonderful for third and fourth grade on electricity and insulators and conductors, energy, etc.! The K, 1, and 2 students responded well and learned so much! Very excited and engaged! Parents and community volunteers were really valuable too! Great program and the kids and parent volunteers were thrilled with the experience!"
