So, you might be wondering what is the difference between static electricity and current electricity? Well that is why I am here, to talk about it.
Static electricity is a type of electricity that can only stay for a moment. For example lightning, it only stay for a couple seconds.
But current electricity is what we use to power are homes or to play video games.

Well conductors what are they? They are the metal part, that electrons go through. For example look on your computer's charger it has a metal inside of the part that is covered in rubber.
And insulators, are the safe rubber part that keep the electrons from blowing out of the conductor. For example the computer's charger is covered in a rubber covering that protects you from the electrical charges.

For electricity to flow you need a full circuit otherwise electricity won't flow.
Here is an example of a full circuit.

I have a few things to tell you about before we go today.
So what are volts,amps, and watts.
This electrical pressure is measured by volts. Volts is short for voltage.
The rate at which electric current flows is measured in amps. Amps is short for amperage.
The amount of electrical energy a device uses each second is measured in watts. Watts is short for wattage.

That is all for now folks!!
