A few days ago in Technology, we were learning about atoms. Mr. Calvert told us about atoms. We learned a lot of things about electrons, protons, and neutrons.

He told us that a lot about it about them and he taught how us how a battery works and what it has to do with atoms. He taught us that there are two parts of a battery which are separated by a wall.

On one side is the copper and on the other is zinc. If you connect the two sides with a wire the electrons from the zinc will zip through the wire to the copper side. If there’s nothing in between the battery will pop and be unusable.

If you put something like a light bulb in between, then the electrons will be forced to go through there. The electrons will go through the wire and bump into the sides causing it to produce energy for the lightbulb.
