Static Electricity With a Comb!
Watch the video below and follow the instructions to have some fun with static electricity! This BILL NYE the SCIENCE GUY show has some radical experiments you can try at home!
- Fast Forward >> to 12:53
- The one I want you to try first is the comb and paper, and comb and water experiment. After you complete that one, start the show from the beginning and learn some more fun with Static Electricity!
Show-off your electric powers during our ZOOM meeting this Friday at 12:30!

Flattening the curve means that many cases get stretched out over months and it changes things.The effects of COVID-19 and social distancing make me feel mad because I can’t go anywhere or see my friends.I feel that closing places it actually a good idea because you won’t touch anyone or won’t get sick and it is necessary to keep people safe from the virus or any other type of disease that has been out.

The article Static Electricity: The objects with the same charge try to push each other away, and because your hairs all have the same charge, they stand up all on there own. Another reason is if you remove your hat, electrons are transferred from your hat to hair making this thing called an interesting hairdo!

The paragraph is telling us that Inference is when you form an idea or draw a conclusion based on evidence.And there are these are these people named Lucy and Gary and Lucy started shivering so based off that it’s cold and Lucy said she was cold so Gary holds her to keep her warm so he most likely a sweet and kind person.So as the paragraph saying is that as we read out brain is storming ideas and making clues so we can understand what’s happen while reading.

For Part A, #1., The question is How can robots teach us, when we are the ones who made them and taught them? For Part A, #2., You can’t answer with “health and teaching them.” I’m asking about other than those, what are other good things artificial intelligence can give us or help us with?
For Part B, #1., Explain more. What makes them dangerous to us? For Part B, #2., Does their emotions make them like people? How are people different from AI robots?

B. 1. People would most likely be afraid of robots losing control because people have made stories of robots losing control for decades so that is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear of a robot losing control. 2. the difference between robots and people is that robots don’t have the ability to have emotions but humans do. and humans have souls and computers/robots have motherboards.
C. 1. I feel like nobody would have control of the robots. 2. yes she would be allowed to vote because she is an American citizen.

1. Tropism is the scientific name for how plants move towards the things most essential for their survival, the Greek word for topos is turning.
2. Geotropism is the growth of the parts of plants with respect to the force of gravity. The upward growth of plant shoots is an instance of negative geo geotropism the downward growth of roots is positive geotropism.
3. Phototropism is the orientation of a plant or other organism in response to light, either toward the source of light positive phototropism or away from its negative phototropism.
4. Phototropism
5. We need food, plants such as fruits and vegetables, and animal that eat plants such as cows and chickens.
6. plants go through photosynthesis to store up energy from light.
7. The hydrogen and oxygen from the water molecule can combine with the carbon dioxide to form starch sugars, which are full of stored energy. That’s why there are sweet sugars in fruit, and starches in potatoes.

1.Tropism is the scientific name for how plants move towards the things most essential for their survival. Tropism comes from the Greek word tropos, which means ‘turning
2.When a seed germinates, the roots will always grow down and the stem will always grow up, toward the light. The plant can sense the pull placed upon it due to gravity, and will direct root growth in the direction of that pull.That is geotropism.
3.A plant will also move towards the most direct source of sunlight. If the light falls upon one side of the shoot, the other side will grow faster to bend the leaves towards the light.
4. If the leaves grew curly, they would not get as much sun, because part of the leaf would be in the shade.
5.fruits,vegetables,oxygen,and sunlight
6.Plants go through photosynthesis to store up energy from sunlight.
7.The hydrogen and oxygen from the water molecule can combine with carbon dioxide to form starch and sugars which give us energy, such as from fruits and potatoes.
