The Electric Field Trip

Hi!

Today I read The Magic School Bus and the Electric Field Trip.  I learned that everything is made out of atoms, and inside atoms is the nucleus and the electrons.  The nucleus makes the atom have weight and the electrons take all the other space.  When electrons run through a wire it's called an electric current. The word current comes from the words "to run".   When the electric current stops flowing from the power plant to the community it's called a blackout. When extra electrons stick to tiny droplets of water or ice in a storm, and enough of them gather in one spot they can jump from the clouds to the ground.  This is called lightning.

I also read Happy Birthday Mrs. Piggle Wiggle, and went skateboarding under the freeway on the Mountains to Sea Trail.
