No Wires World

If there was a world were electricity didn't need to go through wires I would name it electronic city . Since electricity would be flowing in the air there would be no need to be worrying about charges electronics or plugging them in because they would get the electricity through the air. This could be a good thing beaucse we would no longer have to use wires and it would be much less of a mess. A bad thing that could happen would be that if someone has something that is a conductor the electricity could get to that person and this would be dangerous. If anyone was holding some sort of conductor they would get electrocuted.

Electricity So Far

• Electricity is a form of energy that comes from charged particles like protons and electrons
• So far I learned is that there are many forms of electricity
• I'm still confused about what can be considered a conductor or insulator
• I'm getting better at understanding what electricity is. 

Electric Vocabulary

What I have learned about electricity so far is that there are three types of charges , Positive, negative, and neutral charges . A positive charges are called a protons, negative charges are called elctrons and neutral charges are called neutrons. I also learned about conductors and insulators. A conductor allows electrons or electricity to flow freely and an insulator doesn't allow electrons or electricity to flow freely. A final thing I learned is that opposite charges attract and the same charges repel.

Van De Graff

In class we played with a Van De Graff generator, what the generator did was cause electricity. We tested it put with a ball which would keep moving away form the generator. This happened beacuse the ball and generator had the same charges. Then we turned the generator off and put aluminum plates on top once we plugged the generator back in the plates went flying off one by one. This happens because the aluminum plates had the same charges. Obejets repel when they have the same charges like positive and postive or negative and negative the attract when they have opposite charges like negative and positive.

Insulators And Conductors

An Insulator that I come in contact with is my bed . my bed is an insulator beacuse it does not allow electricity to flow through it . Wires is an example of Conductors because inside that wire it has copper and inside the copper the electrons move/flow freely. The wires are Conductors because it allows electricity to flow through them. Insulators don't let electricity flow freely in other word the electrons can't flow through insulators. Conductors allow electrons to move freely or allows electricity to flow.
