prediction: the potato will light the light bulb after 0.4 vaults

Answer: the potato did not light the light bulb it takes 5 vaults to light a light bulb and my prediction was wrong.

question 1: if your bulb doesn’t glow, how can you fined out if electrons are flowing?

ans: use a voltage meter.

question 2: if your bulb doesn’t glow, why not?

ans: a bulb needs 5 volts to glow.

question 3: how can we modify our experiment to improve the results?

ans: switch the wires around and test doing other things.

question 4: what is causing electrons to flow in this experiment?

ans: the wires.

 

 

Power connections Project

for my power connection project me (Erik) and Blake were planning on making posters and putting them around the school saying facts about electric cars, then we were going to get in contact with someone that owns an electric car or company, we were going to Skype chat about electric cars and fined out some information about them like whats the fastest electric car, what was the first electric car, and who were the inventors of the electric car.

Science app review

#1 How does this app help with my learning?
Ans: It is showing me what would happen in real life with just a simulation.
#2 is this app easy to learn from?
Ans: I believe this app is easy to learn from all you do is play with balloons and it shows you what happens when the balloons touch certain objects.
#3 Will this app help me remember?
Ans: some people might find the app fun and it’s hard to forget a good memory.
#4 Is it fun?
Ans: I think it is fun and is very easy to remember witch would help with a lot of science 9 students that are confused.
#5 Will this app help science 9 students?
Ans: I think it will help a lot of students in science 9 that aren’t understanding what’s happening in the unit.
#6 should this app be recommended for science 9 students?
Ans: I think it should be recommended to other student because it is fun and very easy to remember also a bit helpful.

 

 

pic 1

I picked this photo to show what happens when the yellow balloon with all the negative charges touches the wall.

pic 2

i picked this photo to show what happens when both balloons have a equal amount of negative charges.

pic 3

I picked this photo to show what happens when the yellow balloon has little negative charge and the green balloon has a large amount of negative charges.

I learned what happens with the balloons when they have a lot of negative charges, little charge, and no negative charges, it also showed me what really happens when a balloon touches cloth and what happens when it touches a wall.
