Electricity

Static Electricity

A build-up of electrical charges on an object

Current Electricity

A flow of electric charge.

Electrical Charge

electrical particles that are negatively charged

Circuit

A system that provides a pathway for electrical current to flow through

Cell

Supplies energy to a circuit, by pushing current from the positive to the negative end

Voltmeter

A device used to measure voltage, or electrical potential energy difference

Ammeter

A device used to measure current in a circuit

Wire

a thin, flexible thread of metal

Resistor

An electrical device that resists the flow of electrical current

Bulb

In a circuit, this shows if electricity is flowing by lighting up

Switch

a device that opens or closes a circuit

Battery

A device that converts chemical energy to electrical energy

1- Fill in the table

	Static electricity	Current electricity
What is it caused by?	The imbalance between negative and positive charges in an object	An atom usually has the same number of protons  (which have a positive charge) and electrons (which have a negative charge)
Do the negative charges move?	Negative charges can move freely from one object to another	An electric circuit is caused by the movement of the charges through the conductors of the circuit.
Does it power appliances?	Electricity usage monitor that tells you exactly how many kWh a device or appliance is drawing.	If the electricity provided is desired to do work, the load/appliance can be placed at the middle of the electric circuit

2- What are some examples of static electricity:

1. If you rub your shoe on the carpet, your body collects extra electrons

2. When you touch the playground your body get static electricity.

3. Walking across the carpet and touching a metal door handle and pulling your hat off and having your hair stand on end.

4. When you jump on the trampoline get electricity static.

Write up for a Van der Graaff experiment:

How does the Van der Graaff machine work?

A Van de Graaff generator pulls electrons from the Earth, moves them along a belt and stores them on the large sphere. These electrons repel each other and try to get as far away from each other as possible, spreading out on the surface of the sphere.

What was one of the experiments they did with the machine?

Is when they hold there hands on the machine and the machine is turning on and the static is all in there body.

Describe what happened, what did you see?

I see when my friend standing there holding the machine and the static was all in there body and their hair was standing up because of the electricity coming on their body.

Why did you see this happen?

Because my friend wanna try it and There hair went up because of the electricity going in there body and the static. I saw the teacher holding the small machine ball and he touches it to the big machine and it static and there is like a static light and the sound is loud.

Explain how lightning happens linking  to the ideas of static electricity

Often lightning occurs between clouds or inside a cloud. As the storm moves over the ground, the strong negative charge in the cloud attracts positive charges in the ground. These positives charges move up into the tallest objects like trees, telephone poles and houses.

Section 3: Find 10 interesting facts about the eye.

1. In a very basic form, the eye is thought to have first developed in animals around 550 million years ago!
2. In a single second, it's possible to blink five times.
3. You are likely to blink more often when you are talking.
4. A block typically lasts 100-150 milliseconds.
5. You see things upside down- it is your brain which turns the image the right way up.
6. You actually see with your brain, not your eyes, Our eyes function like a camera, capturing light and sending data back to the brain.
7. The human eye can function at 100% at any given moment, without needing to rest.
8. Red-eye in photos is caused by light from the flash bouncing off the capillaries in your eyes.
9. If the human eye was a digital camera, It would have 576 megapixels.
10. The eye is the fastest muscle in your body- hence why when something happens quickly, we say 'in the block if an eye!'

String Bag

Good morning guys, Today im explaining where I am up to on my work about making string bag. I just finished making a string bag template, it's a paper that where we measured on fabric and we just use it to cut down and the fabric got measured in the correct cm. My next step is to choose a fabric and use my bag template to measure the fabric and cut it off. After I've finished that my next step is, at the top of both rectangles on my fabric, fold and iron the fabric 1/4  over to the wrong side of the fabric, Then fold over 1 and iron it again. Im going to blog again after I finish my work of cutting the fabric and telling you guys what is my next step are.

Bullying at school

Why do bullies behave badly? Because they don't like that person and they don't want them in school because of life or something like he's better than us at maths or other subjects.

What are bullies hiding when they pretend they don’t care? They say that they were not bullying him and people who watch are bystanders who just look at them and not standing for them and not taking action.


What is important to keep in mind the next time you meet a bully? Don’t be scared of them if they say mean things, call the teacher and stand by yourself and don't get scared of them and don't get hurt.
