 Electricity can be transformed to magnetism,
heat and light. Electricity is very important,
because it makes our lives easier by enabling
devices or appliances to work. However, when
not used properly, it could cause fire, electric
shock, and even death.
To avoid accidents, it is advised to follow
procedures on how to use electricity properly.
Electricity can be saved when it is used wisely
and properly.
 Below gives you some advice on the proper use
of electricity
1. Never touch an open wire with bare hands.
Replace worn-out electrical insulation.
2. Dont plug a bunch of stuff into one outlet or
cord extension. It could damage electrical system
or even cause of fire.
3. Dont climb the fence, never go near wires
with cuts or those that fell the ground; these
could electrocute you.
4. Keep electrical stuff far away from water. Most
electrical accidents around the house happen
when people use electricity near water or if the
body is wet.
5. Unplug electrical wirings during brown-outs or
thunderstorms. Sudden upsurge of electricity
may destroy your appliances and may cause fire.
6. Unplug electrical equipment or devices when
repairing to avoid electricity flowing from
equipment to the hands.
 7. Switch off/better unplug appliances
when not in use.
8. Schedule ironing of clothes; better iron
them all at one time
9. Use energy-saving bulbs that produce
sufficient light. These bulbs use less
electricity.
10. Stay in ventilated areas instead of using
air-condition units all the time
 Elaborate:

Being a child, how could help your

family conserve energy at home?
Read and understand the statement.
Answer if the sentence show proper
use of electricity and if the
sentences show energy conservation.
Write your answer on the blank
provided before the number.
___ 1. Open the refrigerator only when necessary to
avoid over consumption of electricity.
___ 2. Avoid octopus connections. Several appliances
plugged in one socket might cause fire
___ 3. Do not touch the switch or plug-ins if any part
of your body is wet. Water are not friend with
electricity
___ 4. Do not use electric fans or air-condition when
the weather is cool.
___ 5. Ask a grown-up for help when you need to use
something that uses electricity
 List down all appliances/equipment
you use at home then write how to
used them properly and wisely. Write
your answer in your science notebook.
