How is energy used in your home?

These are pictures of how we use energy in and out of my home.

Heat

Light

 

Fish

Fun

We have energy that comes from coal that burns, that makes steam that turns a turbine that makes electricity. The electricity gets to our house by lines under and over the ground. 

We also have pipelines billions of feet under the ground that carry gas to our house. 

Solar power is made by the sun doing something to photovoltaic cells and it makes a current that makes electricity, we have some solar powered lights in our garden.

Without energy in our home it would be black and boring.

This is a map of my house and where the energy is used

Car

This is a racing car. It can go very fast. Because it goes very fast you may know it has to have a parachute at the back to slow it down at the finish line. This car is called 'The flying meteorite'. It has a symbol on the side, the symbol shows a flying meteorite. The symbol opens up to help the people that fix and change the tyres. That's cool.

Bike race

This is a really fast bike. Its at a bike race, lots of people are watching.

Telescope

This is a telescope vacuum cleaner.

Container ship

This is a container ship. It is loading its cargo on board. The people inside are making the ship work. The propeller is making the water fly in the air. The funnel is making a little bit of smoke because the captain is running late. Because his car has broken down, he's calling the tow truck to come. The tow truck is running late because the tow trucks house is really far away from the port. Good bye anyone.

Desalination plant

I did this at school. I like this.

Submarine

Apple machine

This is a picker upper apple machine.

Robot

This is a robot Dad with a robot dog. The robot dog has a lead. The lead comes from the inside of the robot Dad. The lead is an electric wire, it powers that robot dog. The robot Dad has a big box powering all of his things. In his eye there is lots of little eye tubes so it can see. They spin around. There is a light on his head with his ears. The remote makes the robot work. Thats the end of that.
