What is electricity? How is it generated? How does it relate to a microwave, and what has this all got to do with Greek cats and leg hair? Watch our electricity show to find out.

-
Static electricity
-
Induction
-
The conservation of energy
-
Electromagnets
-
Transformers
-
How light bulbs work

Sparks
......and how this all relates to what you shouldn't put in a microwave.
