I heartily agree. This site is a useful tool for enhancing and enriching the electricity standards. In conjunction with the STC electricity kit, this site is a helpful tool for showing students how electricity works in their daily lives. The site gives an overview of how an electric motor works. It shows real life photograph images to show a dissection of an electric motor.
Technical jargon accompanies each image to label the true names of the objects in the pictures.
Animated images make the engine parts move and come to life. A background on electric current, direction of current flow, and electromagnets should be developed before introducing students to this site or this concept. Showing your students where the motors are located in such things is helpful to them, though they may need a reminder about electrical safety and proper care of expensive materials. I thought this was a great site that I can definitely utilize in my classroom. The captions beneath the pictures are well written.
