Weekly Blog(3/27/16)Electricity current

     This week in class we learned about electricity current, what it is, and how it works. Electricity current is the flow of electrons through a light bulb's filament, for example.  The filament is a resister so that creates friction which as you know makes heat and if metal (or anything) gets hot enough, it glows.

     So this week in class we tested out certain safe circuits to see if they would work or not and why.

     This week in class we learned in class we learned about the dangers of electricity, electricity is very dangerous, did you know that there is enough power in a home outlet to stop your heart? Well there is. To warn us about this my teacher, Mrs. Garcia, gave my class a bunch of stories of dangerous electricity situations. In this project I learned not to make short circuit and why.
