Circuit Collapse at Three Gorges Dam - Zaplings: Electricity & Magnetism Adventure

Circuit Collapse at Three Gorges Dam

Zaplings: Electricity & Magnetism Adventure

Deep inside the world’s largest power station, something has gone wrong.

Massive turbines are spinning, but electricity is behaving unpredictably. Circuits are failing. Magnetic systems are destabilizing. Ari Raider has detected a critical disruption at the Three Gorges Dam and needs explorers to restore balance before the power grid collapses.

In Circuit Collapse at Three Gorges Dam, students dive into one of humanity’s greatest engineering achievements to uncover how electricity and magnetism work together to generate power. To progress through the adventure, explorers must understand electric charge, circuits, magnetic forces, and how energy moves through complex systems.

This adventure blends physical science learning with story, exploration, and high-stakes problem solving.

What This Adventure Covers

Each Circuit Collapse at Three Gorges Dam Adventure Pack explores the following electricity and magnetism topics:

• Electricity – Understanding the flow of electric charge
• Electric Charge – Positive and negative charges and how they interact
• Circuits – How electricity moves through complete paths
• Conductors & Insulators – Materials that allow or block electric flow
• Static Electricity – Stored electric charge and sudden discharge
• Magnetism – Attraction and repulsion without contact
• Magnetic Fields – Invisible regions surrounding magnets
• Electromagnets – Creating magnetism using electric current
• Electricity & Magnetism Together – How moving charges create magnetic fields

Each topic appears naturally within the adventure and is required to move the story forward, reinforcing learning through exploration rather than memorization.

What’s Inside the Pack

• 9 Adventure Trading Cards
Story-driven science cards that guide the Circuit Collapse mission and reinforce key electricity and magnetism concepts through exploration and discovery.

• 1 Real Mystery Dig
