Energy is everywhere. We use energy every day.
Electricity is a form of energy and this is what powers the TV, hairdryer, phone, fridge, electric toothbrush and more! Our growing need for energy is one of the problems facing the world today, because producing electricity also produces pollution.
Here are some simple ways to make a big difference when using electricity.
On or off? Leaving televisions and computers on with the little red light showing still uses electricity, even though they might look like they're turned off. To stop this you can turn them off.
Lights out! Turning lights off when you're not in the room can save a lot of energy.
Fridge door closed. The fridge is an important part of the kitchen, because it keeps food fresh, cool and healthy! But it takes a lot of energy to keep cool, so try not to leave the fridge door open or put hot things inside.
Use the sun's energy. An increasing number of people are fitting solar panels(太阳能电池板) to their houses. They create electricity from sun-light, which can then be used to power our homes. Solar heating panels make hot water, reducing the need for electricity or gas.
Have you ever stood beside the ocean and stared at the waves (波浪)? The way they move is changing! Nothing is more peaceful than watching the movement of water.
Every ocean has waves. Unless you are lucky enough to live by the sea, though, you probably can't watch the waves very often. How would you like to have your own wave machine? Making one is easy and a lot of fun.
Start with the following things: a glass bottle, water, food colouring, some dish soap, vegetable oil, paint thinner (涂料稀释剂), a cap for the bottle *Note: Use the paint thinner only when your parents agree. Put it away carefully. | |
Step 1: Using the dish soap, wash the bottle carefully. You want your sea to be nice and clean! | |
Step 2: Fill the bottle halfway with clean water. | |
Step 3: Now pm food colouring into the bottle. A few drops will colour the water. You might want to use blue or green. The prettiest colour is actually a mix of blue and green! | |
Step 4: Pour some vegetable oil into your bottle. Pour until the bottle is almost full. Then add some paint thinner until your bottle is full. | |
Step 5: Cap your bottle gently. |
Now that you have made your ocean, put your bottle on its side. Wait a minute. The water win be on the bottom. The oil and paint thinner mixture will be on the top. Now tip (倾斜) the bottle back and forth (反复来回) and watch the waves.
Would you like to choose a wise way to connect yourself with your kids? Here is the best family-friendly game for you.
Exploding Kittens Card Games
Exploding Kittens is a great family game—it's easy to learn, competitive (竞争的), and it brings lots of silly fun. What's more, it's light enough to take with. In the game, players take turns to-pick out a card. The player who takes the exploding kitten card will be a loser. The game will go on until there is only one player left. He or she will be the winner. Clearly, the player wins the game because of luck. However, it is still super exciting. Players always have great fun. For young players, it's easy to make them frustrated because it takes a few rounds for them to remember what the graphic on each card means. That's why the game's creators advised ages seven and up. Price: $20 Type: Card | Age Range: 7 and up | Number of Players: 2-4 | Playing Time: 15 minutes |
