Hands-On Science With Squishy Circuits

In the video "Hands-On Science with Squishy Circuits" talked about how play dough that you can make at home that it can conduct electricity.

Ben Franklin was a very curious and inventive thinker. He kept thinking about different ways to experiment with electricity so he came up with an experiment with only a few materials (wire,mobile kite, handkerchief,and two sticks).(”Benjamin Franklin and Electricity”) Franklin

In the video, "Hands-On Science with Squishy Circuits", Anne Marie Thomas does a TED talk about Play-Doh circuits. She explains how she teaches her daughter about electricity by making homemade Play-Doh. At 1:42, she demonstrates with an LED light, Play-Doh that contains salt, Play-Doh that contains sugar, and batteries. She splits the salty Play-Doh in two and connects them with the batteries. To conclude, she sticks the LED light in both of the "squishy circuits" and it turns on.

In each passage that I read, "Energy Story", "Conducting Solutions", and the video "Hands on Science with squishy Circuits" there are many similarities and differences within the information I have gained in the articles and the video. The main idea of this video is to mainly inform you about electricity, the main principles of it, and some different ways to make electricity.

On page 161 Kamkwamba decides to enter the new library in Wimbe Primary School. This was the moment Kamkwamba discovered the different and exciting topics that could be learned in books. He initially went to the library to get caught up in his studies so he would not be too far behind when he reentered school. It was when he read the book Malawi Junior Integrated Science did he become fascinated with the concept of producing electricity. After reading this book, Kamkwamba began to read other books related to this topic where he explains the various information he learns. Throughout chapter nine Kamkwamba does research on producing electricity by reading books from his local library. Teaching himself this new found information was only the first step in a big

An electric current exists when there is a net flow of charge through a given area. Electrons flow from the negatively charged region to the positively charged region. This is usually accomplished by using an electrical conductor which allows the electrons to pass freely through the material (Serway, et al. 709). This flow of electrons can generate heat when collisions between the molecules and electrons occur. These collisions then cause the molecules to break apart thus releasing heat. Some common examples of electrical energy are lightning, static electricity, and wiring outlets (Coleman, et al. 82). For the wildland firefighter, lightning is probably the

In the first couple of words it says “An electric current is a flow of electric charge”. In the first sentence it already gets in to talking about electric currents and how they flow through an electric charge. In the first sentence in Energy Story it talks about how “Electricity figures everywhere in our lives”. Both the articles get right in about talking about electricity. In the first seconds of the video she talks about her belief in education and how she found a way to make electricity out of homemade playdough or store-bought play dough. My conclusion is to think of what is around

If I had to choose one of the five video lessons, I would choose the Labor Union lesson. In the nineteenth century, many workers worked long hours for very low wages. Corruption prevailed in America and many organized laborers benefited from the lack of government regulation. They could subject their workers to long hours of work in horrid conditions. There were no laws to protect workers if they became unemployed, and there were no laws to enforce the protection of children. When the Great Railroad Strike of 1877 happened, it paved the way for change. It was one of the first peaceful protests that would produce a catalyst for workers.

Each video is a different work out, so you don’t have to do the same thing day in and day out. I found this to be awesome because it kept me engaged and gave my muscles a rest from the workout the day before, making it easier focus on a different area of my body, and making it easier to keep

The other pieces of text are more cause and effect, whereas this video is more descriptive. Also, it is much different to actually “see” the actual footage than just read the

The videos’ purpose was to show that things at your house can make electricity. The girl talking shows two pieces of homemade playdough, one with sugar and one with salt. She separates the salt play dough into two pieces and connects one LED one to each one so its connected to both. Then she says and shows that if you put the two pieces of salt playdough back together, the LED will turn off. After that she separates the two pieces again and puts a piece of sugar play dough in between them. However, the LED wires are still connected to the salt playdough. The articles purpose is different. Its purpose is to explain what atoms are made of, what atoms are needed to make electricity, and how atoms get other things like the electrons they

The history of physics was changed by his discoveries and theories regarding electricity. People usually used electricity for magic tricks creating and sparks and shock. Instead of him learning how to do magic tricks, Benjamin was curious about what else he could do with electricity. Benjamin believed that electricity and lightning were the same because they both created light, made loud noises when they exploded and were attracted to metal. His hypothesis asserted that power was extremely one liquid, which could be available in abundance, or leaving from a body, accordingly clarifying its electrical charge.

8: Electricity can be generated from many different sources. Explain how an electricity generator works to convert energy from the original source in to electricity.

The fundamental principles of electricity generation were discovered during the 1820s and early 1830s by the British scientist Michael Faraday. His basic method is still used today: electricity is generated by the movement of a loop of wire, or disc of copper between the poles of a magnet.[1]

There are several methods to generate electricity that we use daily for transportation, light, heating and making the food that we eat. Renewable and non renewable are the two types of energy resources available to us. The standard method of creating electricity has been by burning coal, releasing carbon dioxide into the air. It was perviously thought carbon dioxide created warming however this is strongly disputed now as the correlation between carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and global temperature is now disputed. There are alternative methods we can use to create electricity such as solar and wind as well as many others.
