How to be safe around electricity

Seymour: Hello! Seymour Science here on a very special science sleepover with my guest Eddie!

Eddie: Thanks Seymour! Electricity is amazing. Lots of thing around us our powered by it: lights, phones, TVs… but electricity can be dangerous too. I’m here to give you som top tips for staying safe!

Seymour: One…

Eddie: Always ask for help! Now I know it seems easy to use the toaster, but always for help from a grown up.

Seymour: They’ve been making toast for years!

Eddie: same goes for all appliances actually. Even Seymour asks for help.

Seymour: And I’m the smartest kid around!

Eddie: and if your toast gets stuck, never stick anything into the toaster to get it out, just ask a grown-up to help.

Seymour: Two

Eddie: Watch those drinks! If you spill a drink on any appliance for plug it can be really dangerous, so put your drink somewhere safe. Oh and such away any wires. You don’t want someone tripping po and interfering with your favourite TV show!

Seymour: Three. Water and electricity aren’t friends! Electricity doesn’t like any kind of water. So keep those electric appliances out of the bathroom - just sing instead!

Seymour: La la la la la la laaaaa

Eddie: Or maybe not!

Seymour: Four. Dry those hands!

Eddie: If you’ve had a bath, washed your hands or brushed your teeth, always make sure your hands are completely dry before using light switches, or plugs, or anything electrical.

Seymour: And our final tip five.

Eddie: Don’t stick things in plug sockets! It’s really dangerous to stick anything into a plug socket, except a plug of course!

Mum Seymour, Eddie! Are you still awake?

Seymour: Oops! Time for bed!
