The Shocking Story of Electricity

'Thomas Edison opened his own electrical power stations in London and New York. Wires from his power stations carried electricity for thousands of light bulbs. Whole cities could now be lit by electricity – indoors and out. On December 20, 1880, the first electricity streetlights in New York were switched on, along Broadway. But Edison’s wires couldn’t carry electricity very far. He was using “Direct Current” or DC electricity, which always flows in the same direction around the circuit. The wires heated up as they carried the electricity, wasting energy and losing power.'

 

Not so long ago there were no electrical inventions at al. no computers, no televisions… not even any light bulbs. I didn’t know about electrical history, I was surprised at bulbs. We can understand the fascinating story of electricity from the very beginning, when people first realized what electricity was – and just what it could do.

HOW MOUNTAINS ARE MADE

‘When we look at the earth, all we see are rocks and soil, and the trees and other plants growing in the soil. But if we could look inside the earth, we would see that it is made up of different layers. The surface of the earth is the first layer. It is made of the soil and the rocks we see around us all the time. Just under the surface is a rocky layer, about thirty-five miles thick, called the earth’s crust. Beneath the crust is a layer of solid rock, about sixty miles thick. The crust and this thick rock layer together form an outer shell called the lithosphere.’
