Love corrupting the youth
Nope. We are not keeping the backwards fucking convention if we have the power to go back in time. Electrons are positively charged particles that travel from high charge to low charge. There nice and easy. Engineers are happy. Well we're less unhappy, the students only mostly want to die.
Beat me to it.
Thanks internet discussions are the only safe use of time travel
"We have ἤλεκτρον (elektron), can you show us?"
Ancient meme, but that's why you have to keep a small version of this in your wallet:

The guy who put this together ended up writing a full book based on the concept.

"This glass shines. It does so by guiding extremely tiny kernels (which repel from others) through a sort of 'road' where they pass easier. This road leads to itself only.
There is a place that pushes these kernels away to an area on that road they're pulled towards. When it encounters a sort of barrier, it hits that, and splats like a fruit; that's light."
Or put even easier:
"There's a place that makes tiny kernels. Those kernels are thrown from that place, following a path; when they hit their target, they scatter, giving light."
Edit: replaced tomato with fruit.
What's a tomato?
A light spirit lives in the battery. It reaches out across the wires until it reaches the round window which it uses to show its power.
Alr now how do you make this light bulb?
Yeah, but question is, how do you get a magnet in an ancient Greece?
Edit: typo.
How is it directed? Why does that work?
How do you create a battery or generator?
Why is voltage only one-way?
