This week in class we learned about charges and how they work. We learned that everything has a charge in it. Mr. Blake made it very clear to try and understand there is no possible way for us to know if something has a positive or negative charge because we never can ever really see what the charge really is. But we use those terms just to refer to it. With this same topic we also talked about getting shocked. Everyone knows that getting shocked is not pleasurable but the science behind it is actually pretty amazing. Everything in the world wants to be balanced, especially charges. It always wants to be neutral. So when one object touches another object with a different charge then the two objects try to balance themselves therefore you feel the shock. It's actually very interesting when trying to understand why certain things work that way. In class we were also able to understand the concept of different charges, and the distributing of charges in this lab using magic tape. Basically it showed attractions and repels between charges. One main point to remember so far is that different charges attract and like charges repel.
