Thanks to all the volunteer (Hydro-Ex) guides at the museum at Harrow and Pembina for helping 9-2 and 9-4 learn about electricity and its development here in Manitoba.
Students came away with a variety of new ideas and wonder about how much more amazing it is to have electricity just an electrical outlet in the wall away!
Next Thursday, May 10th, students will visit IMAX to see 2 films to prepare us for our last unit in grade 9 science after Electricity......Space and the Cosmos:

3 new things that i learned were that when you try to transport AC currents you lose the power because of the tension on the lines, Van de Graaff generators don't work when it is humid and Limestone is the biggest generator in Winnipeg.
ReplyDeleteI already knew that Manitoba's electrical sources are over 95% hydro.
Yes I would recommend this field trip because even though I had already been there I learned some knew information and they have a really good collection of old electrical products like bulbs and appliances.
3 new things I learned are van der graph generators do not work when humid, Jenpeg is one of the biggest generators in MB, and 50,000 farms got eletricity for the first time in MB in 1946.
ReplyDeleteSomething I already knew about electricity is Thomas Edison invented the first lightbulb.
Yes I would recommend this field trip again because it was a fun way to learn about electricity and there were hands on activities involved.
:)
1. -I learned how electricity was used first in Winnipeg.
ReplyDelete- How turbines work.
- three things needed to make elctrcicity are magnets, coils, and movement.
2. the electrons move to the protons.
3. Yes because it was great!
JD 9-2
ReplyDelete1.) The three things I learned during the trip to the Electrical Museum are:
- Limestone is the biggest genereator in Manitoba.
- The first use for electricity here in Manitoba were for streetlights and street cars.
- Thomas Edison, was not the inventor of the lightbulb, in fact, the inventor was Canadian!
2.) Most of elctricity is produced from water (hydro) in Manitoba (over 95%).
3.) I would higly recomend this trip again. I learned so much things that i did not know and i also enjoyed my time there.
The 3 things I learned about electricity are: Thomas Edison bought the invention of the light bulb off of Henry Woodward and "invented" the proper light bulb. Over 95% of the electricity in Manitoba is generated from hydroelectric stations. Also there are 6 generating stations are currently built on the Winnipeg River and still produce electricity.
ReplyDeleteSomething I already knew about electricity is that there are different types, for example: static electricity.
I would definitely recommend this field trip again because the tour-guides are awesome, the artifacts were interesting, and in the end we received a cool prize. Also the pamphlets we filled out were educational.
The three things i learned is that 98 of electricity in MB is hydro, 50000 farms got powere for the first time in 1946 and that three thing you need to make electricity are magnets coils and movement.
ReplyDeleteI allready new that thomas edison made the first lightbulb.
I reccomend this field trip again because there is so much information to learn about electricity im MB and inventions made around the world.
1) Well, I learned that Van de Graff generators don't work too well when it is humid. I also learned that Henry Woodward was a Canadian who first held the patent for the lightbulb. I also learned that electricity was forst used in Manitoba for Street lights and Street cars.
ReplyDelete2) I already knew that over 95% of power made in manitoba is hydroelectric.
3) I would definately reccomend this field trip again. This is because I really enjoyed all of the exhibits and the part where the guy showed us the Van De Graff generator was probably the most fun.
1. I learned how dam is important.
ReplyDelete2. We're getting electricty from dam 98%.
3. 50,000 farms was spilled with electricty in 3years.
2) I already knew what is the electricty.
3) yes, because I got so many amazing inpormantion about electricty and I saw so many thing, like a train, old dishwashere and movie about how electricity works.
1)What are 3 things you learned about electricity today?-I learned that Thomas Edison didn’t actually create the light bulb. He bought the invention off of Henry Woodward. Woodward could only get the filament to stay lit for a very little amount of time, so Edison bought the invention, and created a new version of the Light bulb. We now use Edison’s development of the light bulb now.
ReplyDeleteI also learned that there are 14 power dams in Manitoba. Only 3 of them are produce a lot or electricity from the amount of water there is; the turbine strength also determines how much electricity is created.
I also learned that Henry Woodward was a Canadian.
2)What is something you already knew about electricity?
I already knew that you shouldn’t touch electricity. The voltage can cause your heart to skip a beat, or something related to that. This can cause death or serious damage to you.
3)Would you recommend this field trip again? Why or why not?
Yes, I would recommend this field trip again, because it was very interesting. I learned a lot, and -I liked the fact that we found out that the Van de Graaffe Generator doesn’t really work when there is a lot of humidity in the air.
I learned that the first person who invented light bulb is not Thomas Edison, Henry Woodward.6 generating stations are still produce electricity on the WInnipeg river. And there is a lot of shape of light bulb.
ReplyDeleteElectricity was first used for street lights and street cars.
I would recommend this field trip again. Because we can get lots of knowledge about electricity. It was little boring but all the things are interesting .
I learned that:
ReplyDelete-The Van de Graaff generators works well when it's humid.
-Electricity is millions of tiny electrons flowing along a circuit
-There are 6 generating stations on the Winnipeg River
I previously knew that most of MAnitoba's electricity come from Hydro (water).
I recommend this trip again, because it was great.
1. What I learned that over 95% of water is formed for our electricity, we are getting our electricity from the dam. There is 6 generating stations built on the Winnipeg River.
ReplyDelete2. Something I already knew about electricity was that it is used to power our toaster, oven and etc..
3. I would recommend this field trip again for the people who want to know more about electricity and understand it better.
1) Three things that I learned about Electricity when we went to Manitoba Hydro are:
ReplyDelete- Hydro Electricity is one of the best sources of electricity for the environment.
- I also learned about some of the things that they had to use before electricity was even nearly as advanced as it was today.
- Lastly, I learned about how the Van De Graffee generatore works better in humid environments.
2) What are 2 things you learned about electricity?
- It evolved alot as the years passed by.
- It has gotten alot safer then it used to be, but it can still be very dangerouse if you dont use it correctly.
I would reccomend this field trip because I learned alot about electricity that I didnt know before, and it further advanced my knowledge about the different ways that you can get electricity, ex. Hydro, Nucleur, Coal, Wind.
-Milan :D
i learn 3 new thing that when there is no electricty we used van de graph genetor to make eletricity to make light and in lot of country there is no light than they used van de graph genetor to electricity and that why they get light
ReplyDeletei already now that in manitoba there is henrywoodwar is one who make the first biggest light bulb in canadia in 1874
yes ifield tripewould recommend this tripe beascuse it is fun in this field tripe i learn lot of awsome cool thing in this i can learn about electricity i can hand out activites involoved
Three things i learnt about electricity at the manitoba hydro field trip were:
ReplyDelete- that you could use water as a extraordinaryly good sorce of enery
- you can use a magnet to move electricity
- to create elecricity people use a magnet bar that moves around a coil of metal to create electricity.
3 things I learned at the Manitoba Hydro Museum:
ReplyDelete-how there are 14 generating stations currently built in manitoba
-that over 95% of canada's electricity is generated from hydroelectric stations
-that street lights and street cars were the first to be used with electricity in manitoba
Thanks for the trip :)
1. there's 50,000 farms in Manitoba recieved power between 1946 and 1959.
ReplyDelete2. over 95% of the electricity in Manitoba is generated from hydroelectric stations.
3. Henry Woodward is a Canadian that first held the patent for the light bulb in 1874.
1.I learned that there are 14 hydro electric stations in Manitoba.
ReplyDelete2.I also learned that more that 98% of manitoba’s electricity comes from water
3.Henry Woodward invented the light bulb not Thomas Edison
I highly recomend that we do this awawy because it is a funy way to learn
The 3 things about electricity that I learned at the museum were: 95%of the electricity produced in Manitboa is hydroelectricity, the 3 things needed to create electricity are motion, wire,and a magnetic field, and that electricity is electrons in motion.
ReplyDeleteBefore I went there I already knew that Manitoba was very eco-friendly because it uses hydroelectricity.
I would recommend this field trip to other students because it was very cool to see all the early inventions of things that we take for granted everyday. The washing machines, street lights, and washing machines that came first were all very interesting to see.
I really enjoyed going to the electrical muesem I enjoyed the demonstration with the van de graff generator.The video was very intresting and educational.Manitoba has a great source of electricity with all of the hydrodams it is amazing how water can generate electicity all over manitoba.
ReplyDelete3 things that I learned in the electrical museum is...
ReplyDeleteDirect current
Alternate current
more than 95% of electricity used in manitoba is hydro power
I knew that electrons flow through power lines.
I would recomend this field trip because of how informative it was.
I really enjoyed the field trip to the electrical museum. I would recommend it. The museum was nicely layed out and the tour was interesting.
ReplyDeleteI learnt that hydro electricity is one of, if not the best, source of electricity for the environment.
I learnt more about the Van de Graff Generator and how it doesn't work as well when it's humid in the air.
I learnt how water can generate electricity all over Manitoba.
A) What I learned that on the field trip.
ReplyDeleteI learned that over 95% of of all electricity is produced by hydroelectric dams.
I learned that there are 14 hydroelectric dams in Manitoba.
I also learned that Henry Woodward created the proper working light bulb.
B)I knew that Benjamin franklin first discovered electricity .
C) I would recommend this trip, because it provides a lot of information about electricity and teaches how hydroelectricity is made.
-I never knew that hydro produces 95% of electricity in Manitoba!
ReplyDelete-That there are six generating stations on wpg. River.
-I also never knew that Manitoba first used electricity for street lights.
Yes, I reccomend this trip for any one or class intrested in the study and everyday use of electricity in Manitoba!
-Liam
Three things that I learned was that over 95% of our electricity is hydroelectricity. I also learned that Henry Woodward invented the light bulb, and that the three largest generating systems that produce electricity, in Manitoba, are Kettle, Limestone, and Long Spruce.
ReplyDeleteThree things that I learned about Electricity when we went to the Museum:
ReplyDelete1, You need 3 things to make electricity work: motion, magnetic field and coils of wire.
2,That there are a total of 14 generating stations in Manitoba
3, And Limestone is the biggest genereator in Manitoba.
One thing I already knew:
Majority of power made in Manitoba is hydroelectric.
I would recommned this field trip to other students because it was a very neat experience to see how electricity has progressed so far in Manitoba, and our tour guide was very good and knowledgable with his information.
Three things that I learned from this field trip were....
ReplyDeleteMore than 95% of manitbans use hydro elctricity.
I had also learned about what Direct and Alternate current is.
Lastly i found out that the Van Der Graph generator dosn't work while it is humid.
I would recomend this field trip because of how much we learned while we were there.
The three things i learnt are:
ReplyDelete1)95% of Manitoba's electricity is generated from hydroelectric stations
2)Henry Woodward was a Canadian that was the first to hold the paternt for a light bulb
3)Electricity in Manitoba was first used for street lights and street cars :)
2.I already knew what electricity was.
3.I would recommend this filed trip because i learnt ALOT! The video and the museum part was perfect for what we're learning right now.
What are 3 things you learnt about electricity today?
ReplyDelete- Thomas Edison did not patent the light bulb.
- That the three generating stations that are the largest producers of electricity in Manitoba are Kettle, Long Spruce, and Limestone.
- That electricity was first used in street lights and street cars in Manitoba.
What is something you already knew about electricity?
- That electricity is a form of energy and that electricity is millions of tiny electrons flowing along a circuit.

2: You need 3 things to make electricity work: motion, magnetic field and coils of wire.
3: Over 95% of Manitoba’s electric power is hydro.
I already knew that Manitoba sells some hydroelectric power to the states and Ontario.
I would recommend this trip again because it was educational and fun.
Three things that I learned were when Winnipeg first got electricity and when farms have gotten electricity. And when the first dish washers have came out so it makes peoples life’s easier if they have a large family and lot of dishes to do.
ReplyDeleteI’ve already know that Manitoba hydro have helped in providing electricity for Manitoba but not when it first came to Winnipeg or to farms.
I recommend this field trip to help students to learn more about electricity and when Manitoba hydro and how they brought electricity to farms and Winnipeg.
