SHOCKING!!!!


This week we learned about electric potential energy. I learned that an electrical socket has 120 volts. Though the voltage seems low, it will hurt. There was this ball thing which supposidly had 100,000 volts. When i touched it, it didnt really hurt. It was just a little shock. I didnt attempt to shock myself with the outlet. That would have hurt way to much. I learned that it isnt the voltage that will hurt you, it is the amount of the charge that will hurt you. This is the intense shock that we feel.

APPENDICIDES


This week I had my appendix removed so i was not able to come to class. On Sunday, i had severe stomach cramps and went to the ER. They found after some tests that my appendix was ready to burst and rushed me into emergency surgery. They removed my appendix and left me in a lot of pain. All i did the whole week off of school was lay in my bed and rest. :)

CHARGE LARGE


This is a picture of my aunties fridge. As you can see there are many magnets on here and they range in colors, sizes, and brands. From what i can tell, the magnets are attracted to the fridge.This is because they contain opposite charges and we learned that opposites attract. This is why the magnets can stay attached to the fridge.
