1. How did Benjamin Franklin feel when he discovered electricity? He was shocked!

2. Father of Electricity Benjamin Franklin

3. Curiousity led Franklin to investigate electricity!

4. Key, Kite, Leyden Jar helped in discovery

5. Franklin invented the lightning rod

6. Lighning would strike the rod not the house. With Without

7. Volta discovered first battery!

8. Did you know?

9. Electricity and magnets are related!

10. Michael Faraday Produced electricity by placing a magnet through copper wire

11. Electromagnet http://www.fossweb.com/modules3-6/MagnetismandElectricity/activities/electromagnet.html See how it works! He produced an electromagnet!

12. These items use electromagnets. Can you think of more?

13. Electricity : energy produced by moving electrons.

14. Cause Electricity Moving electrons

15. Edison and Westinghouse created the first power stations.

16. Electrically charged particles flow from powerstations into homes. Electric Current

17. Transformation Just as the caterpillar changes to a butterfly...

18. Electricity is transformed into other forms of energy...

19. Light Energy

20. Heat Energy

21. Mechanical Energy

22. Sound Energy

23. Measuring Electricity

24. Measure of electric pressure VOLT

25. The rate that electric current flows. AMP

26. The amount of electricity an object uses. WATT http://www.engineeringinteract.org/resources/siliconspies/flash/concepts/electricity.htm Check it out:

27. Static Electricity Build up of negative charges

28. Lightning Negative static charges jump to positive charges

29. Circuit Path that electric current flows

30. Series Circuit One goes out, they all go out!

31. Series Circuit http://www.engineeringinteract.org/resources/siliconspies/flash/concepts/simplecircuits.htm Great activity Check it out!

32. Parallel Circuits Buildings and homes are wired this way.

33. Parallel Circuits When one path is broken...

34. The other paths work!!!

36. Conductors allow electricity to flow through it.

37. Good Conductors

38. Insulators do not allow electricity to flow!

39. Good Insulators

40. Protect yourself Use Insulators
