A a

Atoms are EVERYWHERE! They are 

the source of nuclear energy. 

B b

Benjamin Franklin was flying a kite 

on a stormy day and "BAM!" he 

discovered something! 

He discovered that electricity is 

passed from one thing to another 

and is never destroyed.

C c

Conductor

Conductors are made of 

materials that electricity 

can flow through easily. 

Some examples of conductors are: 

copper, aluminum, silver, and gold

D d

Electricity travels 

in one 

direction only! 

E e

Electricity is used everyday. 

Electricity is the flow of electrical 

power or charge. We use electricity when

we plug a power cord into an outlet. Where can you find an 

outlet?

F f

Fuse is a safety device with metal wire, which melts when 

electrical currents get too strong, cutting the flow.

G g

Have you ever been on the street 

and seen cables hanging up above? 

Those are electrical grids. An 

electrical grid is a system of high 

tension cables in which electrical 

power is distributed.

H h

Did you know water can create 

electricity? Hydroeclectric power is 

created by the force of falling 

water. Hydroelectric power creates 

electricity. 

I i

Insulators are the 

opposite of conductors. 

They are objects or 

materials that do not let 

electricity pass. 

Some examples of 

insulators are: rubber, 

plastic, and glass.

Those are big numbers, right? 

That is an example of how joules 

are calculated. What are Joules? 

Joules is a metric unit used to 

measure work and energy.

K k

There are so many things around us that use 

electricity.   The amount of electricity used is 

measured in kilowatts. Think about the kitchen in 

your home. What objects in your kitchen are 

powered by electricity? 

L l

Have you ever seen a bright flash in 

the sky during a storm? This is called 

lighting. Lighting is electricity 

produced by a thunderstorm. 

M m

When holding two magnets next to each other, 

you can feel the two magnets pulling towards 

each other. This magnetic force is called a 

magnetic field. 

N n

Non- renewable energy sources are 

sources that cannot be made again in 

a short period of time. These sources 

can provide us with electricity.

O o

 Ohm is the unit for measuring resistance to an 

electric current. So if you want to know how 

much resistance to electric current an object in 

your house has, you would measure in Ohm.

P p

Q q

So much electricity is used around 

the world every day. Every object 

that uses electricity needs an 

amount of electric charge. The 

amount of electric charge that is 

given off is called quantity of 

electricity.
