Comparing Hands-On Science With Squishy Circuits

After reading the articles "Energy Story", and "Conducting Solutions", and viewing a video clip called Hands-On Science with Squishy Circuits, I realized they all have the same idea behind them but different purposes the writer is trying to get you to understand. In the article "Energy Story', the purpose was to inform readers about how energy can be used in our everyday actions and activities. It also talks about what energy does and how it is used, also what it is causing to happen. It describes the steps used to conduct energy and how to consume it. It also includes you having to do an action which will intrigue many readers. The article stated to, take a walk through your house and wright down all the different appliances, devices, and machines that use electricity. This article was a great source for getting information on all different kinds of reason for which energy is around.

the chemical energy stored in batteries gets transformed into electrical energy through the wires, then gets transformed into light energy and thermal energy that you see.

In the passage, "Energy Story" the purpose is mainly to explain to you what electricity is. Also meaning how it happens. It gives some diagrams to give you a good explanation just to refer back to when trying to understand what is going on and to get a better understanding.

In the story "Energy story" it talks about the structure of an atom and electrons and how electrons can move easier in somethings than in other things, like in paragraph 21-22 it says that thing like rubber cloth glass and dry air are good insulators, which means that electrons don’t move as well as in things like copper, aluminum, and steel.

In paragraph eleven of "Energy Story" it explains how electrons can work. The author states "Electrons can be made to move from one atom to another." and continues to "When

Do ionic compounds conduct electricity as (3 points) Solids No Liquids Yes Aqueous solutions (when the ionic compounds are dissolved in water) Yes Do covalent compounds conduct electricity as (3 points) Solids no Liquids No Aqueous solutions (when the covalent compounds are dissolved in water) No Part I Lab Insert completed data tables for each part of the lab. Be sure that the data tables are organized and include units when necessary. Melting Point (4 points) Conductivity (4 points) Part II Conclusion Answer the following questions in your own words, using complete sentences. Based on your observations in the lab, categorize each unidentified compound as ionic or covalent. Explain in one or two sentences why you categorized the

In each passage that I read, "Energy Story", "Conducting Solutions", and the video "Hands on Science with squishy Circuits" there are many similarities and differences within the information I have gained in the articles and the video. The main idea of this video is to mainly inform you about electricity, the main principles of it, and some different ways to make electricity.

b. Aqueous NaCl—Sodium Chloride contains both sodium and chloride ions, but in the solid state they are locked in place and therefore unavailable to conduct electricity. But, when NaCl is dissolved in water, the ions are free to move and conduct

These three sources explain very different things, but they always end up coming back to the main objective of electricity. Energy Story explained how atoms function, and how they, as a whole, are passed through circuits to create electricity. Conducting Solutions explains how liquid solutions including Ammonia and Vinegar are stronger together, and create a stronger conduction of electricity. Hands-On Science with Squishy Circuits visually shows how two batches of homemade play-dough, one made with salt, and the other with sugar can be made into circuits when used together.

Semiconductors allow the flow of both ions and electrons through the sample but not completely free; and its

First, the difference between the two articles’, "Energy Story" and "Conducting Solutions" purposes. The article, "Energy story," talks about atoms and what atoms are needed to make electricity. That's the articles purpose, to teach you what atoms are needed to make electricity and the atoms. They put everything you need to know about atoms. How they move, how many atoms are needed in one, etc. Now for the second article, "Conducting Solutions," purpose is different. Its purpose is to say what’s a good conductor and what you can mix so it can be a good conductor. They tell you what you can mix like ammonia and vinegar. The other article doesn't really talk much about conductors and which ones

To make electricity it needs to have an equal amount of positive and negative ions. If it does not have an equal amount of ions it will be unstable and not balanced. All matter is made up of atoms, and atoms are made up of smaller particles. The three main particles making up an atom are the proton, the neutron, and the electron.

As I add the silver nitrate to the calcium chloride the calcium will begin bonding with the sulfate to form solid calcium sulfate and the silver will begin bonding with chloride to form solid silver(I)chloride. We know this because calcium is more reactive than silver and sulfate is more reactive than cl so the two more reactive particles will bond and the two less reactive will bond. They will both form solids because chloride ions when bonded with silver ions are insoluble and sulfate ions when bonded with calcium ions are also insoluble. The reason that all of the previously listed information is important to the conductivity is that if all reactants react to produce solids then there will be no aqueous ions floating around which is essential to conduct electricity. Since we now know that when we have and even amount of both reactant the solution produced will not conduct electricity and we also know that each of the aqueous reactants (when isolated) will conduct electricity, I predict as long as we have excess of one of the reactants in the final solution it will conduct electricity.

1. The conductivity experiment will allow us to determine the difference between ionic and molecular compounds. We will be able to identify the compounds as strong electrolytes, weak electrolytes, or nonelectrolytes. We will be able to conclude if ionic concentration and numbers of ion influence conductivity. Lastly, we will determine does polyatomic and monatomic ions influence conductivity.

Humans use electricity daily for important reasons that help them survive. Electricity has a big impact on the world. For instance, electricity has many affects on the environment when it is generated in Canada. Also, since electricity provides us with heating, power etc. we need to conserve it the best that we can because not all energies are renewable and energy supplies electricity. Electricity can be very dangerous and life threatening at times, which is why we must remember to be cautious when interacting with it because then we will know when to be aware at times. There are many different forms of energy and one of them is static electricity, by learning more about static electricity it will provide us with more knowledge about electricity and then soon we will know all about it. There are many different forms of electricity out there and all of them are created from energies, that means the more we find out about electricity and it’s resources we will become more curious about things and will want to learn all about them. Electricity is valuable in our lives and should be conserved more often, even a simple action such as switching off a light when leaving a room will reduce electricity consumption because that action will not only save electricity but will save money. So remember that one little action will help conserve electricity!
