Lightning is caused by an electrical imbalance of thunder clouds. It is known for sometimes hitting the same spot twice. Lightning sometimes happens with a tornado. That can occur when cold air mixes with hot air. Lightning can actually be useful. It can be used because it is electric. Don't leave your home when you're in a thunderstorm. It is not safe to go outside because you could get struck by lightning. Lightning can be explosive sometimes. It can be up to 50,000 volts. Lightning is very dangerous.

Diamonds are formed when graphite is heated and pressured. Graphite comes from the mantle of the earth. There are approximately 20,000,000 diamonds made in a decade. About 2,000,000 diamonds are made in a year. That is about 1,000 tons. Diamonds are also formed, in Saturn’s atmosphere, when lightning burns up the methane in the air. That produces pure hydrogen and burnt carbon, which is known as soot. The soot clumps together and then falls from the sky. These clumps then form into graphite as they get closer to saturn and turn into diamonds. These are some interesting facts about diamonds. ![]() By:Reece Thomas & Ata Yanik Does the temperature outside affect you? Temperatures affect batteries in different ways. Electrons give the battery power, and batteries have electricity in them. There are different things that can happen to the battery by its temperature. If a battery temperature is at 75 degrees or higher, it has a 50% chance of explosion. Another fact is if a battery's temperature is lower than 24 degrees, it will have a 3% chance of exploding. The last fact that we are going to tell you is if a battery is at 25-65 degrees it will be fine. It won't explode or freeze. Many things can happen as a result of extreme battery temperatures. ![]() by Andrew G. and Nasir R. Albert Einstein is known for his famous inventions. Here are some of Albert Einstein's most valuable inventions. Albert Einstein built the Atomic bomb to stop Germany from getting one first. He signed a contract with president Roosevelt to create the atomic bomb. Also the Atomic bomb led to nuclear energy today. In 1926 Albert Einstein created the refrigerator with a little help from his student, Leo Szilard. Where did they get the idea from? News reporters told them of a family that was killed because their ice box seal failed and let fumes go. He saw this and wanted to improve it. Albert Einstein also got help from his student when they thought of the name refrigerator. Albert Einstein also created quantum theory of light. It is made up of small packets of energy called photon. Light is composed into particles called electrons, protons, and neutrons. This led to the creation of television. Now you know know about Albert Einstein's most famous inventions. ![]() by, Gianna There are many inventions that Benjamin Franklin created. They help us in many ways and we enjoy a lot of them all thanks to Benjamin Franklin. First, Benjamin Franklin created the lightning rod. He made the lightning rod in the year of 1749. Franklin made his lightning rod out of a conductor cable, lightning rods, clips to secure the cable in place, ground rods, ground rod clamps, nails for the cable clip holder. The lightning rod was mainly metal. When Benjamin Franklin published and finished it was the year of 1753. The lightning rod is important to us because the lightning rod gives up the technology we need. Now, Benjamin Franklin was strange. He flew a kite in a thunderstorm. It was the year of 1752. Benjamin Franklin flew a kite in a thunderstorm because he wanted to collect lightning in a glass jar. Benjamin Franklin along with William Franklin were the first scientists to fly a kite in a thunderstorm but they got struck by lightning. This was our first early detection warning of what a lightning storm can do. Next, Benjamin Franklin made a glass harmonica. It was made in the year of 1761. He made a glass harmonica because he wanted to be in a band of glass instrument so he made a new instrument. He made the glass harmonica from a glass harmonium, a bowl organ, and hydrocrystalophone. If Benjamin Franklin didn't do this then we would have one less fun instrument to play on. Those are just three of the wonderful Benjamin Franklin’s inventions. |
