One of our areas of investigation in science this year has been, broadly, making things spark or glow
We discovered that electricity that is produced by tearing or compressing is called triboluminescence.
One time that it happens is when you chew wintergreen lifesavers.
It has to be dark to see the green flash, and of course, we can’t eat lifesavers at school. So we went up to the main building basement with a pile of lifesavers, a tray and a hammer. Emery recorded the action in cartoon form.
The post A cartoon from our cartoonist, Emery appeared first on Sabot at Stony Point.
