Electrifying Discoveries: A Journey into the World of Electricity

Learning Objective

At the end of the lesson, you will understand the history, science, and applications of electricity.

What do you already know about electricity?

History of Electricity

Electricity has been studied for centuries, with key discoveries made by scientists like Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Edison.

How Does Electricity Work?

Electricity is created by the movement of tiny particles called electrons along a path known as a circuit.

Types of Electricity

There are two main types of electricity: static, which is stationary, and current, which flows in a circuit.

Uses of Electricity

Electricity is used for lighting, heating, powering devices, and much more in our daily lives.

Safety Tips

It is important to handle electricity safely to avoid accidents. Always ask an adult for help when dealing with electricity.

Interactive Experiment

Let's conduct a simple experiment to understand how electricity flows in a circuit.

Write down 3 things you learned in this lesson.

Have students enter three things they learned in this lesson. With this they can indicate their own learning efficiency of this lesson.

Write down 2 things you want to know more about.

Here, students enter two things they would like to know more about. This not only increases involvement, but also gives them more ownership.

Ask 1 question about something you haven't quite understood yet.

The students indicate here (in question form) with which part of the material they still have difficulty. For the teacher, this not only provides insight into the extent to which the students understand/master the material, but also a good starting point for the next lesson.
