Explore the Topic →

(quiz starts below)

Fascinating Fact:

Chargers at night. Do not sleep with phones or tablets under your pillow while charging. Let them charge on a safe table.

In KS1 Science, children begin to explore electricity in the home. They learn about simple appliances, plugs and switches, and how careful choices and safe habits prevent shocks, burns and fires.

Key Terms

Electricity: A type of energy that powers lights, TVs, computers and many household items.
Cable: A coated wire that carries electricity safely from the plug to an appliance.
Socket: The place in the wall where a plug goes to get electricity.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What basic electricity safety rules should KS1 children know?

KS1 children should learn not to touch sockets with fingers or objects, not to play with wires, and to ask an adult before using electrical items or chargers.

Why is water dangerous around electricity at home?

Water helps electricity travel. If hands, sinks or floors are wet, electricity can move through the water and give a shock. Electrical items must be kept away from water.

How can parents and teachers teach safe charger use?

Adults can show children to place devices on hard surfaces, keep leads tidy, unplug safely, and never cover chargers or use damaged plugs or cables.
