__ Questions: __ In a Paragraph or more tell the class your Interests, favorite subjects, favorite topics in science, least favorite topics in science, and what you Would Like to Learn This Year.

Hi, my name is Cleavens, and my interests are learning about space and everything in it, pretty much anything about space, as long as it has space in it. My favorite subjects are Science and Math really. My favorite subjects in Science are, Space, anything about space as I said before I really love to learn about space and Molecules and alot of things more like to see germs and stuff like that. My least favorite topic in Science is about wild life stuff. I like wild life stuff but not as much, I barley talk about it and it's just my least favorite, I mean you can talk about it for a little bit but I won't be as much interested... This year I would like to learn about Space and Molecules, I've been into those stuff since Kindergarten, since I knew they existed. I have visited Kennedy Space Center and the Science Museum so I know much about space but not everything though. So yeah, Thank you for your time Mr.Hankins. I appreciate that, Thank You.

Dr. Earle is a Scientist that studies Marine Life deep Underwater. She gathers a lot of information about deep sea life, and knows a lot about it and observes and predicts a lot. Mostly she does a lot of observations. She does **//Quantitative and Qualitative observations.//** She **//infers//** a lot of things too. She spent most of her life underwater. She studied fish, and how they eat different stuff. None of the fish where she was observing was ever eating the green feathers of a plant underwater. Those green feathers are called **//Caulerpa//** and it is deep underwater too. She inferred that they don’t taste good to fish. Dr. Earle also studied Humpback Whales mostly in the Hawaiian Islands. The more time she spent underwater and learning about whales and other stuff, the more she was understanding what they do for a living. She also had to **//predict//** a lot too. Especially with the humpback whales.

She **// classified //** stuff too. She got a lot of her observations about a topic, then she group then together to get more details about the topic. The whales make bubble nets when they are getting fed. Other whales start to come when they see this signal, then they make a circle around it. Finally they start eating the their food which is called krill. Dr. Earle was classifying the type of algae they found in an area.

Dr. Earle studied humpback whales a lot because, she wanted to know their signals and their songs that they do to have other whales come to them. They sing a different kind of song whenever they have something of a particular type to eat. The songs are also for their behaviors and other stuff like in that category. They also need to **//evaluate//**. When they have a group of observations they evaluate to find the source and the correct thing that their looking for. Dr. Earle sometimes doesn’t know how to explain things to other people. So he makes models to show what he observed. When you make **//models//** it’s easier to figure out what someone’s talking about.

Science is about asking questions and learning about new things. That’s why Dr. Earle does a lot of **//scientific investigations//**. That’s the way scientists study the vast world. You would ask a question. Figure out how to answer the question. Then you find a way to recall the question and answer.

Well, the problem statement for my topic is, Which type of ma terial can hold in of static electricity?

Electrons and Atoms and Nucleus and etc. TOPIC: Which Material can be charged with Static Electricity? Have you ever rubbed your dragged or walked with socks on, on a carpet, then when you reach to go and open the door with the doorknob, ZAP! Or, have you ever took off your hat inside your house when it was cold outside and suddenly your hair goes up? Yes, that is static Electricity. Static Electricity is a little electrical charge that atoms, electrons, neutrons etc. come from one thing to another. Or one Material to another.

When you have rubbed your socks in the carpet, the carpet has a type of material that collects a lot of electrons and neutrons. Your socks are another source of that too. So, when you rub your socks against carpet, some electrons from the carpet come to your socks, and from your socks, goes up your body, and when you touch a metal as in a doorknob, you will get that ZAP!

I think electrons are the positive charge, and the Neutrons are the negative charge. All these things probably came from one big source. That big source is lightning. Lightning is like the main source of all electricity. It has no components or structure. An electron has an opposite charge to something. They can either duplicate one another or, they can take out one another

A Neutron is a slightly larger type of TRON. It has no net electrical charge. It is larger than a Proton. The Neutron is a Subatomic type of Particle and TRON. They think that Neutron will have a chain reaction. The number of protons in a nucleus is the atomic number and defines the type of element the atom forms. Neutrons are necessary within an atomic nucleus as they bind with protons.

A Proton is a Subatomic particle that has a very big connection with the Atom. I plays a big role in with Atoms. From what I’ve learned, The Proton is a Positive Charge, unlike the Neutron which is a Negative Charge. Proton Positive, and Neutron Negative. Actually these both play a big and huge role in the atom. It tells the atom if it has a Positive charge, or a Negative Charge. If an Atom doesn’t have either of these, then it is not an atom. All Atoms are the same. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Mostly no atoms are different from another. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">I don’t think these are a special atom, that only have a Neutron or that only has a Proton in them. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">If an atom doesn’t have a Proton or a Neutron, it won’t have a spark as when you rub your socks on carpet, and then you touch the Doorknob. It won’t have that without a Neutron or a Proton.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Electrons are the type of electricity that has an amazing amount of speed.. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Scientists measure the weight of Electrons, which I don’t know how it is possible to, but the Electron is very light, and it is part of an atom. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">An atom is made up of four main parts. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Neutrons, Electrons, Protons, and something else that I really don’t know yet. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">You can either have a positive Electron Charge or a Negative Electron charge. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">That is where the Protons and Neutrons come in. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">If the Proton gives an Electrical charge to the Electron, that means the Electron has a positive Charge. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">If the Neutron gives an Electrical charge to the Electron that means the Elelctron has a Negative Charge. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">That is when the Electron sends that message to that other substance that I didn’t get into yet. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">That other substance sends it to the Atom, and that’s how the Atom knows if it has a positive or Negative charge in it. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Just imagine all that, but very fast and quick. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">From my research, that’s what I’ve learned and what I know that goes on inside an Atom.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">The nucleus is the very dense region consisting of protons and neutrons at the center of an atom. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">The nucleus is the Main part of an Atom. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">IF an Atom doesn’t have a Nucleus in it, it’s not even to be called an Atom. It is nothing. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Even though that doesn’t exist, it is called nothing. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">A nucleus is what gets the Positive or Negative charge from a Proton or a Neutron. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Then with that information the Nucleus sends the Positive or Negative reply to the Atom. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">That’d how it knows if it’s positive or Negative.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">The Neutron has Electrons orbiting around it, and Protons and Neutrons orbiting the Electrons. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">This means that Neutrons and Protons, I don’t think you can see those even with a microscope. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">You’ll probably need a very specialized powered Microscope to see those tiny things.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Hypothosis: I think that Carpet can absorb the most static Electricity.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Variables: Socks, Piece of Woodland, Thread, Carpet, Car Fur, Quilt. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">________________________________________________________________________________________________________

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">For Trial one, you must always charge every material for 2 minutes.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">For Trial two, you must always charge it for 3 minutes.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">For Trial three, you must always charge it for 5 minutes.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">Then you find the average, if you got a shock or not.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">Conclusion

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">Based on my data that I collected, Carpet had the most Static ZAP’s in it. Woodland had the least on it.
