Teacher Zone
We believe that it's vitally important to educate young people about the role that electricity plays in our lives, and the dangers involved when it's not treated with respect.
Our Teacher Zone is filled with activities that can be completed as part of solo study, group work, or as a whole classroom; including worksheets, educational games, and instructional videos appropriate for a range of Key Stages.
Contact our Education Officer, Nick South, for more information about our learning resources.
