The awesome nature of electricity is overwhelming. A single blast of lighting could easily provide enough power to power one hundred light bulbs for over a day. Electricity is a type of energy it usually resides in two forms. Static electricity is formed when electricity gathers in one location. Moving electricity is referred to as current electricity. The innovation of battery technologies has really taken the forefront of the new designs and use of electricity as we move for a greener tomorrow. This section touches on electromagnetism which is usually a larger part of a physics curriculum.

These are the types of worksheets that you would most likely find in Physical Science classes. We focus on the movement of electric current and the use of batteries and cells.
