Electricity generation
Most families in NSW get their electricity from a power station.
At each power station, there is a huge coil of wire that spins around in giant magnets. The coil of wire is made up of hundreds and thousands of atoms, with many more thousands of electrons.
As the wire spins, the giant magnets cause the electrons to flow quickly from atom to atom, creating electricity.
Different power stations use different methods to make the coil wire spin. The next couple of slides show a few different power stations people have built to get those electrons flowing.
