Electricity is a tough subject for any age. Most of the science of electricity is too small to see with the naked eye so it is sometimes difficult to visualize what electricity is and how it behaves. However, electric safety is a theme anyone can understand. While it would be great to inspire a generation of electrical engineers, we'd settle for inspiring a healthy respect for this force behind the outlets that we all take for granted.
Learning Power offers kids a way to better understand electricity and electric utilities. We organized the site into age groups to teach the material in stages. In many cases, the material ties directly into approved course curricula. Teachers may use the material to supplement courses and refer to the site in class.
We also reproduced a wonderful book for parents to increase the learning potential for kids. Parent Power
Remember that we offer plant tours and school visits in many of the communities we serve. You'll find information about that in Energetic Tours and Going to School.
