Electricity is a form of energy. A spark or a bolt of lightning is a natural form of electricity. However, electricity is much more useful if the flow of energy is controlled and directed through wires. In this way electricity can power devices such as heaters, light bulbs, motors and computers.Electricity results from the flow of enormous numbers of tiny particles called electrons. Electrons are one of the two kinds of charged particles in atoms, which make up matter. The other charged particles are called protons. An electron has a negative charge and a proton has a positive charge. Positive and negative charges attract each other. However, two positive charges or two negative charges will push each other away. In other words, like charges repel and opposite charges attract.Over the years scientists learned how to use the electrical forces that charges exert on each other. They were able to get large numbers of electrons to flow in loops, called circuits, through wires and then through devices that do useful tasks. The moving electrons are called a current.I will show you a list of things you should not

This is called a fork of lightning it is not like a fork you eat with. Though.

*When an electric charge builds up on the surface of an object it creates static electricity. You have probably experienced static electricity in the form of a small electric shock, which is what happens when the electric charge is quickly neutralized by an opposite charge

*The world’s biggest source of energy for producing electricity comes from coal. The burning of coal in furnaces heats boiler water until it becomes steam which then spins turbines attached to generator!

*Electricity plays a role in the way your heart beats. Muscle cells in the heart are contracted by electricity going through the heart. Electrocardiogram (ECG) machines used in hospitals measure the electricity going through someone’s heart, when the person is healthy it usually shows a line moving across a screen with regular spikes as the heart beats.

*American Benjamin Franklin carried out extensive electricity research in the 18th century, inventing the lightning rod amongst his many discoveries. Lightning rods protect buildings in the event of lightning by conducting lightning strikes through a grounded wire.

do hear are some facts.

Hear are some pictures of lightning and plugs try and see if you can spot how dangerous it can be:
