Electricity!

We will be studying electricity for the next couple of weeks. It is something that is very important to our everyday lives. It is also something that we often take for granted. In 1879 Thomas Edison produced the first electric lamp. Soon after that, in 1882, the first public electric power stations began operating in London and New York. Imagine that you were growing up in a time (1850Õs) when electricity, as you know it, had not yet been discovered. Write a description of what your life would be like without electricity. What would you do to have fun? How would you create light after dark? How would these things affect a day at school?  Post a comment!
