That answer would be a good place to start studying electricity. The problem is that nobody invented electricity; it has always been in our environment. Text books credit Ben Franklin with discovering electricity. However, Franklin only confirmed that lightning and electricity were the same in his famous kite experiment. People discover your characteristics like name, age, likes, and dislikes. It is the characteristics of electricity that has been discovered throughout history by scientists. Ben Franklin discovered positive and negative charge, conductance, storage, and flow of electricity, etc. People have invented ways to use electricity, and that is exciting, like Edison and the light bulb. One way to teach electricity to children is guide them to discover the characteristics of electricity as they unfolded throughout history and electrical inventions. Today we know electricity as form flow the subatomic particles called electrons from a source of higher potential to lower potential and the flows energy can be converted to light, heat, motion, sound, magnetism, and other forms of energy. The goal of this course is to provide students with the opportunity to discover for themselves characteristics of electricity with the premise that discovery piques interest and learning. However, we will not be playing with lightning.
