What is electricity?

By : Mariam H.

7-6-2020 a family was siting and the kids was having some questions to ask there dad so they said what is electricity and how we can use it and there dad said wait for me and i will answer these questions and on 8-6-2020 3:00 he said to them we all use electricity but some don't know what is the electricity .and i did for you a research and this what did i found. Electricity is the presence or flow of charged particles.

  • An electric current is the flow of electrons around a circuit.

  • Static electricity is the build up of electrons on an insulator.

How is electricity used?

Everything is made up of tiny particles. These particles may have positive or negative charges. Electricity is the presence or flow of these charged particles.


electricity particles.

A kid commented to his dad and said ''wow i did not know before that electricity is made of tiny particles and his dad said wait until i complete the research. All materials contain negatively-charged particles called electrons. In metals the electrons are free to move, which means they are good conductors of electricity. If there is a complete circuit a battery can push electrons all around the circuit. This is an electric current. We use electric currents to control and operate devices, including phones, computers and light bulbs.

Some materials do not conduct electricity – they are insulators. Imagine rubbing a balloon on your jumper. The balloon and jumper are each made of different insulating materials. As you rub, electrons move from the jumper to the balloon, so negative charge builds up on the balloon. If you touch the balloon, you may feel a shock as the charge travels through you to the ground. and the kids was happy that they knew an Experiment and a answer for ther questions.

Our ecological footprint

1.we use alot of electricity so we want to use less .

2.the foot print was an amazing idea to see how we are affecting our plant

Our Consumption

not good and not bad

The best page was Noura's page and the most thing I love in the news report.
