Article 'Conducting Solutions': Article Analysis

Decent Essays

the articles I read, I came across information about "Energy Story”, "Conducting Solutions" and a video clip titled "Hands-On Science with Squishy Circuits". In the article "Energy Story". I learned that electricity figures are everywhere and where electricity comes from. Did you know that electricity comes from atoms? atoms are the proton, the neutron, and the electron. Nevertheless, electrons contain negative charge, protons are positive and neutrons are neutral, I also learned that a charged atom is called an ion. In the article “Conducting Solutions” I learned an electrical current is just a flow of electric charge. When a metal conducts electricity its carried by electrons moving through metal. Did you know pure water only contains …show more content…

Moreover, the demonstration in the article “Energy Story” was, the example shown in the article of what an atom is made up of was very detailed it showed electrons spinning around the nucleus, of atoms, in the same way the moon spins around the earth. Furthermore, the demonstration in “Conducting Solutions” the experiment that the article wrote was astonishing. The articles experiment contained water and salt and it explained how when a table of salt in water would dissolve only because the solution conducts very well because the solution contains ions and the ions come from the table of salt. Nevertheless, the clip ““Hands-On Science with Squishy Circuits” experiment that was shown was she was showing with homemade playdough created an example on how to create a circuit through play dough. Ms. Thomas was also talking about how if you put two pieces of sugar dough it has one hundred and fifty times more resistance than the salt dough she used. If you put a piece of salt dough in the middle than that’s when the led would work because to resistance substances won’t make it work but the one that has less resistance
