This 24-slide lesson on Electrical Safety begins by examining why we should know about electrical safety and what can happen if electricity isn't used properly. It then goes into Electrical Boxes and Circuit Breakers, Fuses, Grounding and Static Discharge, Wall Outlets (Receptacles), and GFCI. The lesson concludes by looking at several safety tips when working with and around electricity including the idea of "Call Before You Dig", and Dangling Electrical Lines.

In order, the lesson covers:

1. Why Should We Know About Electrical Safety

2. What can happen?

3. Electrical Boxes and Circuit Breakers

4. Fuses

5. Grounding and Static Discharge

6. Wall Outlets (Receptacles)

7. GFCI

8. Call Before You Dig

9. Dangling Electrical Lines

10. Safety Tips

This lesson package includes the lesson (student and teacher versions of the presentation), an auto-graded Exit Ticket, 5 embedded videos, and a student lesson handout as a document. The presentation is fun and applicable with many opportunities for inquiry-based learning and discussion.

Google and Distance Learning Ready

• This lesson includes both Office and Google formats for ALL resources. The presentation is in PowerPoint and Google Slides while all documents contain Word and Google Doc versions.
• Your resource is perfect for distance learning and integrates seamlessly with Google Classroom as I've included a link that will automatically create a copy of the resources and put them directly into your Google Drive with one click.
• Purchase --> Open --> Click --> Assign to your students

Having both options allows you to use either without worrying about formatting issues as all the work has already been done for you. It safeguards you in case your department or school decides to go Google 100% and allows you as well as your students to access everything no matter where you are or what kind of equipment is being used.

Included in the lesson package is:

• Google and Office versions of each resource
• The teacher version of the presentation
• The student version of the presentation
• Auto-graded Exit Ticket
• 8 Embedded Videos
• Student lesson handout

The student version of the presentation contains multiple blanks that need to be filled in throughout the lesson. These blanks are conveniently underlined and bolded on the teacher copy. I have found this to be the most effective means of keeping my students engaged and active without having them write everything out. This also leaves more time for discussion and activities.
