In Chapter 1, a kitchen power outage happens while multiple appliances and power strips overload a circuit, and a firefighter parent explains danger from excessive current and damaged wiring. The story then bridges to school learning, where a science experiment focuses on comparing light bulb brightness. The text emphasizes practical safety awareness before devices are turned on.",{"@graph":14,"@context":72},[15,34,55],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/literature/","Literature",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/plog-into-the-sun-chapter-1-powerles/446577/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/plog-into-the-sun-chapter-1-powerles/446577.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"A

\nChapter 6  \nFalse Alarm………………………………………………………23  \n# Chapter 1\n\nPowerless  \nLast Sunday my mom and I were baking a cake.wewere using the food processor,the blender,the mixer,and the electric can opener.They were all plugged intoa power strip that was connected to the electrical outleton the wall.  \nJust as I was watching my mom mix the batter,the power went out.The lights turned off,and all theappliances stopped working.I was startled.I looked atmy mom,and she seemed as surprised as I was.  \nMy dad hurried into the kitchen to make sure thatwe were safe.When he saw how many appliances wereplugged into the power strip,he knew right away whathad happened.He told us that for one thing,we hadplugged too many electrical devices into the powerstrip.For another thing,the power strip was pluggedinto an outlet that was already giving power to themicrowave,which was heating up our lunch.Becauseof these two things,more current than normal had tobe drawn through the electrical circuit.He warned usthat this could be especially dangerous if any wires weredamaged.My dad has to deal with electrical fires all thetime at his job because he's a firefighter.  \nSo it was actually a good thing that the power in thekitchen went out.The circuit breaker stopped the flow ofelectricity to keep us safe.  \nThat was how I first learned about electrical safety.And then the next week at school,I learned even more!  \n# Chapter 2\n\nTroublemaker  \nIt was Friday afternoon,and Mr.Burnside,my thirdgrade teacher,decided to surprise our class by setting upa science experiment about electricity.We were going tocompare the brightness of different light bulbs.  \nWhen he announced the plans for the afternoon,the whole class cheered.I was excited because I alreadyknew how interesting electricity was,and I was eager tolearn more.  \n“Does anyone want to help me set up the experiment?”Mr.Burnside asked.  \nAll of the students waved their hands in the air.“Pickme!Pick me!\"we all said at once.Science experimentswere everyone's favorite school activities—besidesrecess,of course.  \nMr.Burnside chose Rachelle—probably because shewas the loudest student in the class.She could also be atroublemaker,though.  \n“Could you help me place these lamps on the  \ntables?\"Mr.Burnside asked,as he pointed to a box fullof old lamps next to his desk.  \nRachelle sighed.I guess she thought the task wasgoing to be a bit more exciting.  \nIn the science room,each student table has its ownelectrical outlet.  \n“Each table gets two lamps.This is because eachelectrical outlet has only two sockets,\"Mr.Burnsideexplained to the class.  \nMr.Burnside and Rachelle placed two old lampson each table.Mr.Burnside asked
