Electricity Magnetism and electricity ~ Activity 4 Objectives • become aware of the uses of electricity in school and at home • identify some household appliances that use electricity • become aware of the dangers of electricity Working scientifically • Questioning • Observing • Predicting • Investigating and experimenting • Recording and communicating Background information Electricity provides us with heat; it powers many appliances; it provides us with light; aids in communication; and is used by all members of modern society. We could not function, as we do now, without the heat energy produced by electricity or the energy it provides in other ways. Electricity can be very dangerous. Even almost discharged batteries have the capacity to burn or start a fire. Before the lesson Materials needed • Some household appliances to display. Preparation • Display the appliances at the front of the classroom. • Pupils will need to answer Question 2 at home. They can then complete the worksheet. The lesson Stimulus • Show the class a variety of appliances. Rank the appliances according to the importance of their use. For example, a refrigerator is more important than a blender. Have pupils discuss the appliances they have at home. What to do • Pupils draw three appliances and label them. • Ask the class to consider how many light bulbs they have at home. Some may be able to try and count them. They write a prediction in the first box in Question 2. • Repeat this with the predicted number of power points at home. • Pupils will need to go home and count the light bulbs and sockets and complete the second boxes in Question 2 the following day. • Pupils complete Question 3 on the worksheet. • Ask the class what they know about electricity. Write their ideas on the board. How do they know it is dangerous? What signs have they seen before? Where have they seen them? • Pupils complete Question 4 on the worksheet. After the lesson Answers 1. Teacher check. 2.–3. Answers will vary. 4. The sign means that electricity is near (usually high voltage). Pupils should stay right away from areas where the signs are. The signs may be warning of high voltage electricity in mains boxes or on electric fences. Viewing Sample Additional activities • Ask the class to count how many appliances they have at home. • The following day, do a whole-class total of home appliances. • Cross-curricular activity – maths: Graph the number of appliances recorded by class members (e.g. power points, toasters, TVs, DVD players etc.). A wholeclass pictograph can be completed. Pupils can draw and colour the appliances for the graph. Display ideas • Pupils collect pictures of the appliances they have at home and use them to create a collage. 68 <strong>PR</strong>IMARY SCIENCE ~ Prim-Ed Publishing ~ www.prim-ed.com
Magnetism and electricity ~ Activity 4 Electricity Draw and label some electrical appliances you have in your home. (a) How many electric lights do you think there are in your home? Count them. How many are there? (b) How many power points do you think there are in your home? Count them. How many are there? Choose the most important item in your home that uses electricity. Draw, label and write about it. Viewing Sample Electricity gives us heat, power and light. It can also be very dangerous. What do you think this sign means? What should you do if you see it? www.prim-ed.com ~ <strong>PR</strong>IMARY SCIENCE ~ Prim-Ed Publishing 69
