Electricity has always been here. In the ancient times of China, the sailors used natural magnets called Lodestones. Lodestones were dug up from the earth to make the first compass. These Lodestones are pieces of rock with magnetized metal material throughout them.

In Greece, also back in ancient times, a yellowish-orange stone called amber was used to make small ornaments. And at that time, silk was a very popular material worn amongst the rich people. They discovered that if you rubbed the silk against the amber ornaments, the ornaments would attract particles of straw and dust. Sometimes, rubbing particles together can cause Electrons to move. Electrons are parts of Atoms, and electricity is the movement of Electrons.

You also can make electricity by doing the following experiment. You won't need any special materials, everything you need should be easily accessible.
