Electricity and Safety Unit for Stage 3

Ausgrid has developed interactive lessons to compliment our Electricity and Safety Unit for Stage 3 students. 

The program includes 4 SMART Notebook lessons featuring embedded interactive class activities, videos and teachers notes. PDFs of the SMART Notebook lessons and individual flash and videos files are also available for other interactive whiteboard users. 

The resources align with the Board of Studies NSW Science & Technology and PDHPE curriculums for Stage 3.
