Electricity
1. Electricity is a flow of negative charges called electrons. These electric charges are measured in units called coulombs. Electricity is a very versatile form of energy that can be converted into many other forms of energy, including light and heat, direct current (DC), which flows in one direction only, and alternating current (AC), which changes direction 60 times per second.
2. An electric circuit is an unbroken conducting path from, and back to, a power supply. It has three main parts: the power supply, the conductor, and the load. The power is provided by a generator or battery, the conductor carries the current, and the load is an electric device such as a lamp.
3. Unlike current electricity, static electricity does not flow. It is created when an electrically neutral substance loses or gains electrons, making it, respectively, positively or negatively charged. You can create static electricity by rubbing a balloon on your clothing. Electrons will move from the clothing to the balloon, making the balloon negatively charged and the clothing positively charged. The resulting static electricity on each will attract small, light objects such as pieces of paper.

Refraction is a property of all types of energy that travels in waves, including light. Light waves normally travel in straight lines, but when they pass from one transparent material to another, they usually refract, or bend. Refraction occurs because light travels at different speeds in different materials. As light from a material with a low density, such as air, enters a material with a high density, such as water, its speed is reduced. This causes it to bend (except when it enters a material at a right angle).

Heat is a form of energy that transfers from one object or body to another if there is a difference in temperature between the two. When you are hot, for example, and the air outside your body is cooler, you lose heat to the air. A change in a body’s level of heat results in a change in the energy of its molecules. This gives rise to a temperature change, which may in turn lead to a change of state.

There are billions of stars in the universe. Stars are massive, energy-filled globes of fiery gases. The force of gravity holds these gases together. At a star’s core, atoms of hydrogen join together to form helium in a process called nuclear fusion. The energy generated by this process produces a star’s heat and light. Collections of stars are called galaxies, and each galaxy contains many different types of stars.

Compound is a substance in which the atoms of two or more elements are joined together by chemical bonds. Because of these bonds, it is very difficult to split a compound into its individual elements. The type and number of bonds formed depend on the electrons (particles with a negative electrical charge) in each atom. The properties of a compound can be very different from those of the elements it contains. For example, the salt we use in our food is a harmless compound, yet it is made up of two dangerous elements – sodium, which reacts violently with air, and chlorine, which is poisonous in large quantities.
