How does electricity flow from power plants to our homes?

Electricity travels from big power plants to your home through special roads called wires, just like cars travel on highways.

Imagine a power plant is like a giant battery factory, making lots of energy. This energy needs to go through power lines, which are like super strong straws that carry the electricity far away.

• When you flip a light switch, it’s like sending a message: “I need light!”
• The electricity starts at the power plant and flows down tall poles with wires, like water going through pipes.
• These wires are connected to your house, so when the electricity gets to your home, the lights turn on!

It's just like sharing candy in a line, the electricity moves from one person (or place) to another until it reaches you. No magic, just smart roads and messages!
