ELECTRICITY (But were afraid to ask)
1.What Is Electricity?
Electricity is a type of energy. It is hard to understand because you can't touch it, hear, smell it or see it. What people can see are the things
that electricity can do - make a toaster burn bread, make a person have a bad hair day or make a light bulb glow.
2.How is electricity made?
Electricity is made any time that small particles called electrons move from one object or place to another. (Electricity is invisible because
electrons are too small to see - one billion electrons can fit into the ball at the tip of a ballpoint pen!)
3.Two Types of Electricity
There are two types of electricity:
1.static electricity
2.current electricity
