About: The Electric Hop dives into the exciting world of electricity, in an old fashioned, '50s-style, rock n' roll musical. Negative charges (played by boys) and positive charges (played by girls) learn that the feeling of "attraction" they're suddenly getting is something called "electricity"! Can they complete a circuit, by working with their charged counterparts in time?

Topics covered: conductors and insulators, circuits, negative and positive charges, and the flow of electricity.

Kit includes: PDF Script, Performance & Accompaniment Music
