I use two batteries and a galvanometer to observe the presence and flow of electrical energy. I then repeat the investigation using a moving magnet and a coil to understand how their relative motion can generate electricity.
I use a marble that falls from a height, move the magnet, and discuss the energy conversions involved.
Instead of using a marble and a simple magnet movement, I use water and continuous rotation of the magnet in front of the coil, demonstrating a model based on the operating principle of a hydroelectric power plant.
Summarize the previous steps through an interactive video simulating the operation of a hydroelectric power plant.
When you visit the Small Hydroelectric Power Plant, you may encounter four new “sensory bags.”
These special backpacks are designed for a selected and beloved audience: children with additional sensory needs. They contain a variety of fun, interactive resources to help slow down the museum experience, reduce or awaken stimuli—such as anxiety, incomprehension, or sensory overstimulation—allowing young visitors to explore the exhibition at their own pace.
Neurodiversity matters to us, and every visitor’s experience is equally important!
Come and explore SHPP Agia autonomously and quietly, and enjoy the exhibition in a way that feels just right for you.
