Electricity
Electricity is the flow of electric charge through a conductor, such as a wire. It is a form of energy that powers many devices and appliances we use every day.
How does electricity work?
Electricity is created when electrons move from atom to atom. This movement of electrons creates an electric current, which can be harnessed to power various devices.
Types of electricity
- Static electricity: This is the buildup of electric charge on the surface of objects. It can be observed when you rub a balloon against your hair and the balloon sticks to the wall.
- Current electricity: This is the flow of electric charge through a conductor. It is the type of electricity that powers our homes and devices.
Electric circuits
An electric circuit is a path that electricity can flow through. It is made up of components such as wires, switches, and batteries. When a circuit is complete, the electricity can flow and power devices.

LIFE SCIENCE
From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes
Create representations to explain the unique and diverse life cycles of organisms other than humans (e.g., flowering plants, frogs, butterflies), including commonalities such as birth, growth, reproduction, and death.
Unity and Diversity
Construct an argument from evidence to explain the likelihood of an organism’s ability to survive when compared to the resources in a certain habitat (e.g., freshwater organisms survive well, less well, or not at all in saltwater; desert organisms survive well, less well, or not at all in woodlands).
Create models that illustrate how organisms and their habitats make up a system in which the parts depend on each other.
