Task 1
Electricity Webquest

INTRODUCTION
You are the CEO of Steiner Ranch ELECTRICITY, the electricity provider in your city. You have been invited to speak to a 5th grade class about some important areas of Electricity. Keeping in mind that the students are in 5th grade, you know that your presentation must be interesting and entertaining.

TASK
You have decided to create a Power Point/ Google presentation to help keep the students’ attention. You have decided to include colorful backgrounds, animations and pictures to make it more interesting. The presentation must be 5 minutes, so you have decided to only cover the following components of electricity to give them an overall understanding of electricity:

What is electricity?
How is electricity formed?
How does electricity get to your house?
Locating and reading the meter
Potential Dangers
Conserving Electricity


PROCESS
Remember, if you use terms that you think the students won’t understand review the definitions so that you will be able to explain them. 

There are 7 tasks to complete :)

You will need to zap through the following sites below and find out the information for the first slide: Define what electricity is and how it was discovered. Record your findings in detail in your Daily Discovery Notebook.

What is Electricity?

Who invented Electricity?

You can also access resources of your own. Try the school library, for example!
