2 Current electricity is the flow of electrons from place to place. It is measured in amps. Energy that moves is called kinetic electricity We can transfer the electrons through circuit boards. We can control it and harvest it, usually using wires. We use it to light up light bulbs. To transfer electric energy into heat.

3 Static electricity is the build up of an electric charged on the surface of an object The charge just builds on it doesn't flows or moves. It is just stored. It is important to understand because it explains static discharge and is related to other types of electricity.

4 The dangers of static and current electricity are they make lighting or give off a shock. In light of the fact that many plant fires and personnel injuries are directly related to a static spark igniting a vapor, gaseous, or dust atmosphere in a hazardous work environments; it is evident that static discharge is highly dangerous. There was a worker drinking coffee at a power plant and he accidently spilled some coffee on himself and on the tower and didn't notice it until a spark went of and electrocuted him. Electric shocks are responsible for about 1,000 deaths in the United States each year, or about 1% of all accidental deaths.

5 Here are some tips to stay safe from electricity Never play with electrical cords, wires, switches, or plugs. Stay away from fallen power lines. Tell an adult if you see one. Never use a hairdryer or play an electrical radio or television near water. Before you climb a tree, look up. If a power line is nearby or touching, stay away from the tree. Never touch anything that runs on electricity when your hands are wet. Fly kites and model airplanes in a wide open field or park—never near overhead electrical wires. Never climb utility poles or electrical towers Wear rubber gloves and rubber boots when dealing with live electricity.

6 The way you can be safe for both is to use proper insulation. Stay away from electricity and its conductors
