Energy Around Us: How do we use electricity?

Science review

Read the following text

Electricity makes our lives easier. Electricity is a form of energy; a power that makes some useful things work. We use electricity to light and heat our houses. We use electricity for many things that help us around the house, such as washing machines to wash our clothes and microwave ovens to heat our food. We use electricity for entretainment as well. Our T.V.s, computers, radios, and videogames all need electricity to work. Electrical items use the local power supply in our homes or sometimes battery electricity.
