Electricity is a key part of many things in our lives. It lights up our homes, cooks our food, and powers our computers, television sets, and other electronic devices. Electricity from batteries keeps our cars running and makes our flashlights shine in the dark.

Here’s something you can do to see the importance of electricity. Take a walk through your school, house, or apartment and write down all the different appliances, devices, and machines that use electricity. You’ll be amazed at how many things we use each and every day that depend on electricity.
