Electricity Generation
This five minute animated video describes the process of how electricity is generated from raw materials and makes its way into homes. It briefly describes several types of raw materials (coal, water, natural gas, wind and solar) but doesn't differentiate between renewable and non-renewable energy sources. It can be used as a platform to discuss types of energy (in this case, electricity), energy transfer and storage, how energy can be produced from many different sources, and energy and infrastructures are required in the transfer and storage of energy.
