Here are 3 very important things I learnt in Science Electricity.
- The difference between proton, electron, and neutron. I learned that protons were positive, electrons were negative, and neutrons were neutral. I also learned that electrons move easier because they are lighter. It was important to learn this if we did not learn this, then we would not know that negatively charged objects would attract to positively charged objects and repel negatively charged objects and vice versa.
- I learned in Static Electricity about Charging by conduction and induction. I learned that you can charge objects without even touching them. It was important to learn this, because if we didn’t learn this, we would only know that you could charge objects by touching them.
- Another thing I learned was that neutral objects are attracted to charged objects. Before learning this, I thought neutral objects would not react to positively or negatively charged objects. This is important because if we didn’t know this, then we wouldn’t know if it would attract or repel a charged object.
i think the lab that helped me the most was the Van de graaff generator, because it showed me how electricity flows through the body into the hair. Also, when we discharged the generator with the rod, it was helpful because it showed me that electricity flowed through the rod to the ground.
