TOWN - DAY
NARRATOR (V.O)
(in a fun but pleasant voice)
Hey there did you know on average a
household in the UK uses 3700
kilowatts of energy per year.
NARRATOR (V.O)
Most of this energy is in the form of
electricity.
NARRATOR (V.O)
I see you noticed that I said forms,
So what are the forms you may be
asking.
NARRATOR (V.O)
Well there are the ten main energy
forms.
NARRATOR (V.O)
Sound, gravitational, kinetic, light,
magnetic, nuclear, elastic, thermal,
Electrical and chemical
NARRATOR (V.O)
Here is a Coal Power Plant, today we
will be looking at how energy transfer
work to create electricity
NARRATOR (V.O)
But first let me ask you does anyone
know the law of thermodynamics, No....
well let me explain.

NARRATOR
The law of thermodynamics states that
energy can neither be created nor
destroyed but can only change forms.
NARRATOR (V.O)
Now... let's see how a power plant
uses that to create electricity.
NARRATOR (V.O)
Hey I see you made it in, come this is
the power plant I was talking about.
NARRATOR (V.O)
You know the thing that keeps your
house lit at night by providing
Electricity
NARRATOR (V.O)
Let's see how it all works.
NARRATOR (V.O)
let's see here we have the conveyor
belt it's where we begin our journey.
NARRATOR (V.O)
Here we grind up coal and turn it into
Fine dust For the furnace where it's
chemical energy is transferred to

heat.
NARRATOR (V.O)
hey I see you met our friend, don't
worry he may seem scary but his just a
bit energetic that's all.
NARRATOR (V.O)
Here we have the boiler, by using the
heat from earlier we are able to turn
water into steam.
NARRATOR (V.O)
Can you think of what energy steam is
used to produce.
NARRATOR (V.O)
well let's see.
NARRATOR (V.O)
I see you finally meet are little
steam friends as you can see they are
really eager to leave.
NARRATOR (V.O)
Well let's release them and see what
happens
NARRATOR (V.O)
we are almost at the end.
NARRATOR (V.O)
As the steam traveled through the pipe
it built up kinetic energy allowing it
to move the turbines witch also turns
the generator and with it, creating
electrical energy.
NARRATOR (V.O)
As the steam cools down, it turns back
to water allowing it to repeat the
cycle.
CUT: TOWN
NARRATOR (V.O)
And this is how electricity is made.
FADES: BLACK
The End.
