What Is Power?

  • Power, or electricity, is the energy that makes our lights, toys, and machines work.
  • It travels through wires hidden inside walls to reach the plugs in our homes.
  • Power is like "food" for our gadgets; without it, they cannot turn on.

How We Use Power at Home

  • Lighting: We use power to turn on lamps and bulbs so we can see when it is dark.
  • Keeping Food Fresh: The refrigerator uses power to stay cold so our milk and fruits don't spoil.
  • Learning and Fun: Computers, tablets, and televisions need power so we can watch videos and learn new things.
  • Cleaning: Machines like vacuum cleaners use power to help us keep our floors clean.

Power in the Kitchen

  • Toasters use power to turn bread into crunchy toast using heat.
  • Blenders use power to spin fast and mix yummy fruit shakes.
  • Microwaves use power to heat up our food very quickly.

Staying Safe Around Power

  • Power is very strong, so we must never touch plugs or wires with wet hands.
  • We should always ask a grown-up to help us plug something into the wall.
  • It is important to keep toys and water away from electrical outlets.

Saving Power

  • Saving power is good for our planet Earth.
  • We can save power by turning off the lights when we leave a room.
  • When we are finished watching TV or playing a game, we should turn it off to rest the machine.

Lesson Summary

  • Power is the energy that flows through wires to make things work.
  • We use power for light, heat, and to run important machines in our daily lives.
