Electricity Pylons:

Power stations generate electricity, and these pylons transmit electricity all around Britain.

Pylon wires/cables, unlike wires in our houses, do not have protective shells around them (plastic) therefore electricity is exposed and can be very harmful to humans/animals.

Can you find out why birds can sit on power lines without being electrocuted?

Activities :

• Label the 10 dangers on the image of the kitchen and say why you think they are dangerous.

• Illustrate the safety rules you should follow when working with electricity in the form of a poster.

• Design a leaflet for employees of a power station so they can work safely with electricity.
