Hands-On Science With Squishy Circuits

In the video Hands-On Science with Squishy Circuits and the articles Energy Story and “Conducting Solutions.” They all had something to do with electricity. They all had a purpose as to what it was trying to teach you. In the next few paragraphs I will explain what I think the purposes are of these articles and this videos. The purpose of Energy Story is to teach people about energy and help them figure out what kind of particles and in what ways make electricity possible. In the article the author says that we use electricity in our daily lives. In the article it explains that all matter is made up of atoms which are made up of smaller particles called the proton, the neutron, and the electron. It states that electrons have a negative charge and protons have a positive charge. There
This article explains how some ions have a positive charge and a negative charge. It then states that pure water contains very little ions and does not conduct electricity very well. But if you mix table salt, or sodium chloride, which is an ionic substance, you can conduct electricity. The article also states that when two substances are mixed, they can sometimes make more ions. For example, when you mix ammonia and vinegar (acetic acid), which both have very few ions, the ammonia reacts with the acid in the vinegar and they form lots of ions. This solution conducts electricity very well. In the articles Energy Story, “Conducting solutions”, and in the video Hands-On Science with Squishy Circuits there are similarities and differences. One thing I noticed was that in the video it used a model of how to make your own circuit board using playdough. In Energy Story there is a picture of an atom and there is more information about negative and positive charges. In “Conducting Solutions” it just explains some different solutions, there were no pictures at
