Stuff that Insulates Electricity, rubber, copper, plastic. Electrical currents, well, a circuit always has a load, a battery, a switch, and wires, otherwise it won't work. Electric currents flow through the wires from the battery traveling from out the negative chart and into the load, out of it and back into the positive charge. That's how we get our electricity.

There are three different types of ways light can transfer through, Transparent, (allowing light to pass through so that objects behind can be distinctly seen) Translucent, (allowing light, but not detailed images, to pass through) and Opaque (not able to be seen through; not transparent.) these are the three ways to let light pass through and it is important for us to know how our light works so we can use it.

When the Earth Revolves, it creates this whole year round cycle, it creates seasons and a year every 365.256 days.

•Keep accidentally making everything a link, don't know how to undo it]]> 2017-04-20 15:53:21 UTC https://padlet.com/3458802/7jjz2pfyb9lg/wish/167305407 Adaptations 3458802 https://padlet.com/3458802/7jjz2pfyb9lg/wish/170768452 All organisms need to adapt to their surrounding environment to suit their needs, otherwise, they'd probably be dead right about now. Adaptations such as structural things on an organism (feet, beak, fur, legs, paws, prints, etc.) As the Earth advances, so many things change, the land changes, too, so plants and animals have to change the way they live to better fit their new environment, ancestors of these animals were way different from the past, such as amphibians , the amphibians today were marine animals that had gills, they evolved to grow legs and a pair of lungs to walk on land, saying so Earth has changed their water ecosystem.

Alternative engeries like solar, geothermal, wind, hydro power, these energies can easily be replenished and aren't causing pollution. Of course, these sources will be used as fuel, they're transformed into electricity that is used for normal basic needs in human activities. Solar Energy comes from the sun, Geothermal comes from beneath the Earth, underground, the water is converted into steam. Wind energy comes from, well, the air, wind, turbines convert wind into electricity. Hydro power is created through dams built at lakes. Biofuels is also an Alternative energy, saying so it was created by dead organisms, might not really be included as "Alternative" and "Replenishable" mentioning that dead organisms take time to break down.
