Static electricity.

 Today, I was on the slide. After I got off, I touched a few things. Then I got a shock. I decided to do an experiment. I got on the slide again. I touched something. I got a shock. Then I did another experiment. I got on the slide twice. I thought that could increase the amount of shock I get. I was wrong. I had the same amount of static electricity. Then I did the last experiment. I wanted to see how long the static electricity would stay. I went home from the playground. I was careful not to touch anything. After going home, I did not experience any jolt or shock. Which means, the static electricity stayed for only a few seconds or minutes. What was the last time you felt the shock from static electricity? Post a comment with your reply.

Volcano Eruption - When magma becomes lava!!!

 Hello everyone,

    This is my first post. Did you read the news about the recent Iceland volcanic eruption? Volcanos erupted several times since 2021. According to the information available online, the same volcano erupted 4 times since December. Actually, do you know what a volcano means? A volcano looks like a mountain but it has an opening where magma comes out. While it is inside it is called magma, but after it comes out it is called lava. 

    When a volcano erupts it is called a natural disaster. While it is not erupting or not looking like it is going to erupt soon, it is called a dormant volcano. Mount Shasta is an example of a dormant volcano. Scientists say it last erupted about 3,200 years ago.
