I agree with most of the comments here.

The article dies little if anything to help K6 educators (or students) understand electricity.

I think K6 should teach something good along the lines of safety/fun, and 6-12 something along the lines of practicality.

I learned Ohm's law when I was about 10 via "multi-kits" like so many other kids of my generation. This basic knowledge of electricity has served me well over the decades. It is seldom taught in school. Why?

I still don't really understand Maxwell's equations, but neither does your average electrician. That doesn't mean your average electrian doesn't have more knowledge about practical electricity than your average scientist who does understand Maxwell.

It's not an article. Read the first line.

The finished article(s) are listed at http://amasci.com/ele-edu.html

And heh, about maxwell, if someone claims to understand Maxwell's Equations, just sadly shake your head, then adopt an archly superior stance, and haughtily inform them that those four are HEAVISIDE'S equations, while Maxwell's were twenty equations based on the latest 1800s math-fad: Hamilton's "quaternions." If they don't understand THOSE, they don't understand Maxwell! (And now we've avoided having to admit we've never read any of them. Hee!)
