Electricity is a great topic of study for the elementary school science classroom. With an emphasis on practical home safety rules in place, Gillen Brewer's older students study electricity in some detail by learning basic circuit terminology and different ways of constructing a circuit. However, electricity is also a great illustration of the cause-and-effect principle for students in the middle of our program. The materials are engaging, the effect is clear, and the result is exciting. The Pepper Plants and the Venus Flytraps are further incorporating this electrical cause-and-effect work into their models of urban, suburban and rural communities by using electricity to power lights, windmills and vehicles.
