School presentation
A
school presentation is a great way to begin your class’s journey
on electricity learning. Each interactive, one hour presentation
includes videos, website demonstrations and safety displays to educate
your students about safety around electricity.
The presentation covers how electricity gets to their school and home, and introduces children to the concepts of conductors and insulators. Vector’s Children’s Safety Programme Coordinator ensures that students have the opportunity to get involved in a number of exercises and engage in discussion about electricity and safety at home and in the community.
A Stay Safe Around Electricity classroom workbook and ruler is provided for each student, and other prizes are given away during the presentation.
School presentations are available free of charge for schools in Vector's electricity network, which covers Auckland City, Manukau City, parts of Papakura District, North Shore City, Rodney District and Waitakere City.
To book an electricity safety presentation contact our Children’s Safety Programme Coordinator on (09) 978 7736 or email tracey.rayner@vector.co.nz
Workbooks for the classroom
This colourful 16 page Stay Safe Around Electricity workbook
is a perfect follow up to the schools presentation and companion to the
www.vectorsafety.co.nz website. It uses the same messages to help
students learn how electricity works and how to stay safe around it in
a wide range of situations, from inside to outside the house, and out
into the community where power lines and transformers can be a safety
hazard for children.
The workbook uses puzzles, games and simple tasks to engage children in learning about:
- Where electricity is used
- Where electricity comes from
- How electricity can hurt you
- How electricity flows through conductors, including humans
- How to recognise the dangers of electricity
- What to do in an emergency
- Plus there’s an electricity safety checklist for children to take home.
A teacher’s discussion and activity guide is also provided with the workbooks.
