ELECTRICITY AT WORK Clectricity is part of everyday life It powers useful things such as lights and computers Electricity is a type of energy Some electricity builds up in one place This is static electricity Electricity can also flow from one place to another That is current electricity STATIC ELECTRICITY CURRENT ELECTRICITY
ATOMS Atoms are very small They are what everything is made of PROTON The center of an atom is the nucleus There are protons and neutrons in the nucleus There are electrons outside the nucleus NEUTRON An atom's electrical charge depends on its number of protons and electrons If the protons and electrons are equal the atom has no charge If the atom has more protons it has a positive charge If the atom has more electrons it has a negative charge ELECTRON nucleus
