Hazard Hamlet

2nd through 5th Grades

This free presentation is designed for 2nd – 5th grades. A remote controlled display called “Hazard Hamlet” details outdoor and indoor scenes where people are not making wise choices around electricity. It shows in a dramatic way what can happen when you come in contact with electricity.

The presentation opens with a discussion about basic concepts of electricity. How electricity attempts to travel to the ground and how it takes the easiest path to get there. Electrical terms such as “conductor” and “insulator” are explained, including why people can be a conductor of electricity. Safety around electricity is the primary objective.

After the introduction, we take a tour of “Hazard Hamlet” encouraging students to participate by deciding what should be done in each scene. This is followed up with a question and answer session. An activity book is given to each student as an additional learning supplement to reinforce what was learned.

This entire presentation takes 35-45 minutes, but can be tailored to meet your time needs. It can be presented in a classroom, library/media center or in any space where there is access to a table near an electrical outlet. Normally one session can accommodate up to 75 students, depending on space availability and adult supervision.
