Teachers & Students

Below are some resources and programs available to Long Island teachers and students.

2010 Electric Safety Poster Contest

Welcome back to the second half of the 2009-2010 school year. With the start of the New Year, we'd like to invite your school to participate in LIPA's Electric Safety Poster Contest. Learn more

Electric Safety Classroom Presentations

Third, fourth and fifth graders & teachers, did you know that LIPA offers a program where a retired LIPA employee will come to your school and conduct a 30-45 minute class on the do's and don’ts of conduct around electricity- AT NO COST TO YOUR SCHOOL!

We will work with you to coordinate the presentation sessions. The presentation works best when given to groups of no more than 75 students in an all-purpose room. All students will receive an activity book on the lesson, which is also available for downloading on the Electric Universe portion of our Web site

May is National Electric Safety Month

During the month, LIPA hosts field trips to our outdoor Lineman’s Academy in Hicksville. Again, at no cost to your school, children watch as our trainers put on a very impressive demonstration of electricity’s power. If you are interested in this program, just e-mail tburgess-levy@lipower.org. 

Electric Universe

If these options don’t fit into your busy agenda, then don’t forget the LIPA Web site. The Electric Universe is more than 600 Web pages deep and filled with information for elementary, middle school and high school students. There’s also a portion entitled the Teachers Lounge with suggested lesson plans and electric experiments – all are labeled age appropriate.
