No Effect

Something many people seem to think is that video games make people want to kill. There have been studies that they actually don't. Since killing in the game is fun people think that it applies to the real world. This is of course not the truth.

Pretzel Circuit

What we did was move around the desk to look like a circuit. 1 person was a generator giving us 2 pretzels (our energy) while we left them in the resistors. Depending on the circuit we did different things with this energy.

Insulators and Conductors

Today I got shocked a bit when I touched a doorknob. The reason I got shocked was because that doorknob was a conductor. That means that the doorknob took the electricity from my body and brought it to itself. An insulator that I touched earlier was my eraser. It felt very different from the doorknob. The doorknob was cold and smooth while the eraser just felt normal and a bit strange. You could tell that they were both different with electricity.

Electric Vocabulary

Electricity is used everywhere. Electricity can have a positive and negative charge. The way to get these charges are to move electrons elsewhere. In electricity there are neutrons, protons, and electrons. Electrons are negative while protons are positive. When two objects that have opposite charges come together they attract by themselves. Two objects that have the same charge repel from each other.

Electricity Generator

The generator I will use for my project is the solar generator. When I first heard about it I thought it was amazing and had to be used everywhere. I can see why we don't do that since these panels take up so much space. There would probably be no way to walk around! That's why only a few places should use it. That would fix the problem very easily. Plus these panels make the world clean by not making it dirty. The panels take heat/light energy from the sun and makes the electrons in the wires move. You need a ton of panels to get enough electricity to power a house but with enough space it can be used well.

Circuit Diagram

 Symbols are used in many places in our lives. They are everywhere. This also goes for diagrams as well. Diagrams use symbols to shorten the space/words used. If symbols were not used in diagrams than they would be all very confusing with many words and possibly huge drawings. Symbols do cause problems sometimes because you have to remember all of them. This causes a problem for people with a bad memory. Something that does need symbols are locations/landmarks. This will tell a person where you are going by just showing them a picture. This could also help with directions.
