No Effect 😱

Something that I think should be affected by another thing is a glue stick. We use glue to stick things together... But!! Why doesn't the glue stick into the inside of the bottle? It doesn't  stick inside the bottle because the inside of the bottle has a speacial material that doesn't get sticky with the glue. πŸ˜ŒπŸ€“πŸ‘πŸΌπŸ™ŒπŸΌ

Standing Waves 🌊

Today we did a lab called " Standing Wave Lab". In this lab we stretched out a spring and looked for the frequency, the wavelength, and it's speed. After this lab I learned that waves with different shapes have different speeds. But also tht the waves amplitude doesn't affect the waves speed.

Electricity Generator

I'm really interested in the Hydro Electric Power generator. I chose this generator because I find it I interesting how water makes a turbine turn to make us electricity. This generator works by a dam blocking a body of water until the fills up then it releases the water which makes a turbine turn.  Its one of the better forms of electricity generation because the air is goin to be clean. One thing that is bad bout this form of electricity is finding a location to install a dam. This is a pro elm because you can't put a dam where there is a river near a city. Cuz when the dam fills the city can get flooded. But really, anywhere that there is a big body of water you can install a dam not next to a city. 😊🌊

Circuit Diagram ✏️πŸ“ŠπŸ‘»

In a circuit diagram instead of drawing the exact thing we use symbols. We use symbols because it is easier to represent what we are trying to show. When using symbols it is easier because it takes less time to draw what we want to show. What is bad of using symbols is that if someone who is looking at it doesn't know what each symbol means then s/he will not know what is goin on in the diagram. 

But in conclusion if you want to do a circuit diagram it is easier to use symbols and to help others u can make a key where you have the symbols drawn and what each represent. πŸ€“✏️

Pretzel Circuit πŸ˜‹πŸ“Š

Today we made a Pretzel Circuit. We had students walking around a tape line. We had two students as light bulbs and one as a battery.  

The "battery" person gave the other students 2 pretzels which represented the energy given to the electrons. First we made a series circuit. In this circuit we had to pass all through one way which means that out of 2 volts we had to leave one at each light bulb. This is how a series circuit works. 
Then we did a parallel circuit. The people used as the battery and the light bulbs stayed the same. The only difference in this circuit is that in a parallel circuit the electrons choose which path they want to go. Each lightbulb has its own connection to the battery. Which means that each of us had to put the bolts we got from the battery to the light bulb.

No Wires World πŸ‘»

The name of my world is Electric Power!!! One cool thing I can do with no wire electricity is that I can charge my phone with just a little panel that I put under the phone: the phone will charge automatically. Amazing right! One crazy thing that can happen with this electricity flowing everywhere is that people are getting shocked with some objects they touch. Will it's dangerous cuz it does sting.
