Find all your science resources in your kitchen cupboards

There are some great resources for an electricity topic lurking in your kitchen cupboards. From oranges to potatoes, a variety of foods can be connected into circuits to make electrical components work. Or pull out that neglected tangle of string, bottle tops and other odds and ends so that your class can identify conductors and insulators. Kitchen appliances also provide a good focus point for messages on using electricity safely.
