WPS came to our school 2/17/14 to talk to us
about electric safety. During the presentation they talked about conductors and
insulators. Conductors are things that electricity can travel through like
copper, aluminum, brass, and people. Insulators are something that electricity
can’t travel through like rubber, glass, and plastic.
WPS
also talked about the little flags that stick out of the ground. Each flag means
something.
Red=
Electricity
Yellow=
Gas
Blue=
Water
Green=
Sewer
Orange=
Cable
Do
not pull out these flags. You can save someone’s life by leaving them in the
ground.
We
learned about lightning storms. When in a lightning, storm try to unplug as
many devices or electronics as possible. If you do so your devices won’t get
wrecked if your house is struck with lightning.
They
talked about if your car crashed into an electric pole. Stay put in your car
unless it starts
on
fire. If the car starts on fire open the door and jump with your hands crossed
and your feet together and shuffle your feet when you hit the ground at least
fifteen feet away. The WPS as three calls a week in the Green bay area. The
main reason for these crashes are texting while driving!!!!!!!!
