Resources for primary teachers

Essential Energy Electricity Safety Week NSW

Electricity Safety Week 2012 will be held 10-14 September in primary schools across NSW.

Electricity Safety Week raises awareness of the hazards associated with electricity and teaches students how to be safe around electricity. The resources have been developed with the Department of Education and Training, and aims to help teachers meet the Science & Technology and PDHPE curriculums for years K - 6.

In 2012, Essential Energy will again be offering resources to primary schools for Electricity Safety Week that can be used for Years K-6. Electricity Safety Week is part of our commitment to public safety and education.
 
2012 Registrations will soon open.
 
When you register your school you will receive a free Electricity Safety Week prize pack for use at your school. The prize pack includes teacher notes, student giveaways, posters and other useful information about electricity and safety.

SMART Notebook lessons for Years 5 and 6
In 2011 a series of four SMART Notebook lessons were developed for Years 5 and 6 teachers with flash activities, videos and virtual experiments that aligned with the Board of Studies NSW Science and Technology and PDHPE curriculums for Stage 3.
