It's a cold winter day in 1825. You wake before sunrise with chores to do. You shiver in the freezing air and light a candle. You find your coat in the dark and haul in wood to build a fire. The fire will provide heat for the house and for cooking. There's no time to heat water for washing. The water feels like ice against your skin. After breakfast, you trudge to school through the deep snow.

 
 

Aren't you glad you're only imagining? Today electricity makes life easier. But where does the electricity you use come from? In this investigation, you will interview adults in your community. You'll find out how and where your electricity is generated.
