This is what Room 12 knows about Electricity.


·      If you rub a balloon on your head, static electricity comes up on your head.
·      If you rub your hand on a trampoline and then touch someone you can give them an electric shock!
·      If you put a piece of metal into an electric socket, you could get electrocuted!
·      There are lots of ways that you can generate electricity – like from volcanoes, the sun, wind, water.
·      Electricity has negative and positive directions or charges.
·      Electricity can go through electric fences.
·      Birds don’t get electrocuted on wires because they are not touching the ground. Electricity wants to get to the ground.
·      Electricity can be carried by water, like a power line.
·      Lots of friction creates static electricity.
·      Electricity flows through metal.
