Electricity is all around us in our daily lives, whether it’s being used to power our lights, computers and other electronic devices, or coming down from they clouds in the form of lightning. It is capable of being supplied by a vast plethora of sources, and even our own bodies generate a small electrical charge.

This poster presents not only some of the different sources of electricity, but also some of its uses and a thorough definition of what constitutes electricity. It includes a list of effective conductors, as well some different electrical components that store or direct electricity in some form or capacity. Some famous inventors and scientists who were prominent in the research of electricity are portrayed at the bottom of the chart, along with a brief description of their work.

An additional information sheet is included with this poster, and features both discussion material and review questions.
