Energy basics
Energy is the ability to do work. Electricity is one form of energy, and it reaches homes through a connected grid of power plants, lines, transformers, and local circuits.
Safety notes
Energy learning should stay safe: do not open electrical devices, touch power lines, or experiment with outlets. Use approved kits and adult guidance for hands-on activities.
Project ideas
Build a battery-use journal, compare bulb wattage, map school energy use, design a mini battery model, or create a poster that explains how batteries support clean power.
Key terms
Watt means power. Kilowatt-hour means energy used over time. Energy storage keeps electricity available for later use when supply and demand do not happen at the same time.
