Theoretical stage:

The children will revisit the basic forms of energy, focusing on the two main types: potential and kinetic.

They’ll begin to understand how energy transforms from one form into another.

They’ll also learn about renewable energy sources and how they differ from non-renewable ones.

Hands-On Activities:

• Through observing the operation of the mill, children will see potential energy transforming into kinetic energy in action
• At the water channel (kolethra), they’ll explore how elevation creates gravitational potential energy
• They’ll learn about solar panels and understand their purpose and how they convert sunlight into usable energy
• They’ll explore how energy transformations are essential in meeting human needs

Extension Activity:

A visit to the remains of other traditional mills, helping children understand how elevation differences were crucial for maintaining potential energy and powering the mills.
