It would be smarter to shut them off then do the work so there is no chances of dying. stephen_monica https://padlet.com/stephen_monica/zv3nkxgrrs9z/wish/165864000 2017-04-11 12:47:21 UTC https://padlet.com/stephen_monica/zv3nkxgrrs9z/wish/165864000 How come electricity only goes through copper and other conductors? stephen_monica https://padlet.com/stephen_monica/zv3nkxgrrs9z/wish/165864643 because the conductors have the ability to conduct electricity.

Blackouts happen when wind,ice,or any other hard objects fall onto power 
lines and causes them to malfunction, in result it causes the electrical circuits to break

 when we get electrocuted (which happens when we come into contact with a voltage of around 1 mA), it is actually the electrons in us that move, creating a 'current'.

Heavier, negatively charged particles sink to the bottom of the cloud. When the positive and negative charges grow large enough, a giant spark - lightning - occurs between the two charges within the cloud. -Tanner Preston]]> 2017-04-11 13:03:05 UTC https://padlet.com/stephen_monica/zv3nkxgrrs9z/wish/165867955 How fast can lightning travel? stephen_monica https://padlet.com/stephen_monica/zv3nkxgrrs9z/wish/165868235 The return stroke moves upward at a speed of about 320,000,000 ft per second (Kaleb Perkins) ]]> 2017-04-11 13:04:11 UTC https://padlet.com/stephen_monica/zv3nkxgrrs9z/wish/165868235 What effect does lightning have on a person's body? stephen_monica https://padlet.com/stephen_monica/zv3nkxgrrs9z/wish/165868488

lightning's heat that it makes can damage the lungs, brain and vital organs.Lightning causes burns and shocks but people usually recover completely.

A negatively charged particle is in a cloud and when the negative and positive particles connect it creates a electrical spark which we see but much bigger. - Ally Neil]]> 2017-04-11 13:08:03 UTC https://padlet.com/stephen_monica/zv3nkxgrrs9z/wish/165869276 How does Ben Franklin discover electricity? https://padlet.com/stephen_monica/zv3nkxgrrs9z/wish/167079212  he devised an experiment to test his theory. Although details of the experiment remain sketchy to this day, Franklin originally wanted to test his theory atop a spire that was to be built on a Philadelphia church. As he thought about it in detail, he realized that his theory could be better tested by using a mobile kite]]> 2017-04-19 17:09:21 UTC https://padlet.com/stephen_monica/zv3nkxgrrs9z/wish/167079212
