What is Electricity?

Electricity is a type of energy. Other energies are light, heat, and sound.

Electricity can appear in nature. An example of this is lightning.

We can also make electricity to power things like fans, lights, and computers.

Electricity gives things energy. That’s how they work!

It’s just like how food gives us energy to work and play.

It’s important to be safe with electricity.

Ways to be safe include making sure you can’t trip over wires and asking for help when you need to plug something in.

To help our planet, it is important not to waste electricity. When you do not need it, turn it off.

We use electricity every day!
