I connected with the South Pole and North pole of the bar magnet and it attracts because we investigate the South pole and North Pole and we talked about .I wanted to know how fast does electricity travels and now i know the electricity speed is more than 186,000 miles per second. What learned is Electricity is produced by spinning copper between magnets, which produces electrons that move as current through metal [copper] conductors

In the light bulb circuit game, it reminds me of when we made a full circuit just like the game. Also one thing that extended my thinking was that electricity travels at the speed of light more than 186,000 per second. One question that is still in my mind is that how does electricity travel through wires?

In a website about electricity, the website says that to make circuits work you need to make a circle of the wires. I connect with that because we learned that it has to be a circle and I experamented with it. It extended my thinking when in a website it said if you cut a magnet into smaller pieces with a scissor or a knife, the pieces will still act like a magnet and I think that was very intersting. I had a question , why does most metal objects conduct electricity? ( gold, silver, copper).

I know that adding more cells in a series will make the lightbulb brighter. I learned that if you add longer wires, the lightbulb gets dimmer." Are there any other ways to make the lightbulb brighter?" is my challenge.

I made a connect -extend-challenge with what I learned today. I learned that if you add too much cells the source might burn out. I can connect that with when I add more cells, the bulb gets brighter. I think that by using switchesto close circuits,all switches must be conductors are on the inside. When I learned that static electricity can reach up to 3,000 volts, I wonder how we can use that electricity.

I can connect to what i already know this is what i can connect it with.I knew that when the circut is open or the switch is off the electricity will not go through the wire.I extended my thinking by reading this "if you add more bulbs to a circut the bulbs will get dimmer because the bulb will have to share the power of one cell.The questions I still have are: How is electricity made?Is it made in the battery?Or is it made in some other way?

I now a lot of metal is a conductor. Electricity can be made buy burning coal.I want to now what kind of materials are not conductors but can be attracted to magnets.

I can connect on phscs4.com that metal is a traditional conductor of electricity. I can connect because in class we talked about the conductors of electricity and metal was one of them.On kuid konnect I extended my thinking. I extended it because I knew that elecricity can travel really fast, but I didnt how fast . Know I know that electricity can travel186000miles per hour.A puzel I have is on AA enviroment i dont understand how electricityis not made of electrons

In one of three websites it said that you put two south and south magnets they repell instaed of attracting.I agree with this because when i put two magnets both on the south and south side they clearly repelled. I thought that metal was the only and fastest conducter but saltwater has a solution because a lot of free ions (charged atoms) can flow easily and ionic solutions are very good conducters.A spark of static electricity can measure up to 3,000 volts and a bolt of lightning can measure up to 3 million volts and last less than a second.Does electricity still flow even if one of the circuits is burned or heated up.

I connect conductors with our experiment because when we did our experiment all metal objects were conductors. I learned that the smoother the top path is the better the conductor. I still wonder how conductors were formed?

I connected with the idea of making a circuit because we made one in our class.

I know that magnets will repel if S-S or N-N and will attract if N-S or S-N. I learned that graphite conducts electricity and is what pencil lead is made of.

I can connect with the expirement we did in class were we figured out what conducters and insulators are. My thinking got expanded because i learned as the wires in a current get longer the light bulbs get dimmer. I still have a puzzle if it becomes more difficult for electricity to travel around a curcuit what is it called?

I connected with a closed circuit because in the lightbulb game when one part of the wire was open the lightbulb didn't work.I extended my thinking on a bar magnet because in the module it said that the force is stronger on the ends of the magnet.One of the things I am puzzled about is if you use 2 cells will the lightbulb ?shine brighter

I connect that metals are conducting materials. That made me think about not only metals can conduct electricity because when I was experimenting I saw that brass rings can conduct electricity. On my expand I saw that electricity isn't made up of electricity. That puzzled me. Then what electricity made up of?

I visited a website today and I learned electricity is produced by cooper in between magnets. I knew electricity is produced by spinning objects in between magnets. When I went to the website I saw cooper was the object in between the magnet. I never knew cooper was the object in between magnets. That helps me understand that cooper is in between magnets. This makes me wounder if electricity can be formed with medal objects.
