Electricity

Did you know that electricity can travel through water, metal and air? Today, we are going to be learning about how to stay safe and about the transformer.

70% of your body is made out of water. Your body contains a bit of electricity. The electricity inside you helps your heart beat and without it, you will not live.

Do you ever notice a green type of box with a sign on it called “Danger, High Volt” or “Danger, Low Volt”? This is called a transformer. A transformer makes the 11,000 volt turn into 300 volt 
so your house doesn’t blow up and  can get electricity.

Do you want to stay safe and not be in danger? I will tell you some facts and information on how to be safe. When you see a tree or a car crashed into a pole, do not stay near around it, you must stay at least 10 meters away. 

When you are at home and your toast gets stuck in the toaster, do not go and poke it with a knife, fork or spoon. The reason why is because if you do poke it, you might cut or damage the 
wires and it will blow up.

When you see a pole with power lines, don’t be silly and climb up.
