This clip demonstrates the dangers of approaching a powerful source of electricity and includes images of what children may see in their local environment. To explain the risks, a dummy is moved towards an electricity cable and struck by electrical sparks. The importance of following instructions and taking note of warning signs is also explained.

Students could explore the dangers of electricity, and how to be safe when using or being around electrical equipment. Show students a picture of a kitchen or living room with a number of electrical dangers, such as an overloaded plug, broken wiring or water near electrical equipment. They could be asked to identify all of these dangers and discuss as a whole class how these could be avoided. Challenge students to use their discussion points to create a list of ‘do’ and ‘don’t’ when using electrical equipment. These could be displayed in posters made by the students around the school.
