Physical science is the sciences concerned with the study of inanimate natural objects, including physics, chemistry, astronomy, and related subjects. The topics that we covered in the 2015/2016 science year are: atoms and elements; chemical bonding and reactions; energy; electricity and magnetism; waves; and forces. My project is a toy made of conductive ink and wired lights in which the user places their finger onto the ink as a conductor. The part of the toy that comes into play with Chelchi and I is the premade templates used for customers to figure out the path and move onto the next template. The purpose of this wonderfully written paper is to explain in detail how my toy is super scientific and works with the topics we learned.

Elements bond to fill their electron cloud by sharing or borrowing electrons. When elements bond, it creates a covalent or ionic bond. Chemical reactions are caused by a chemical change which could be as simple as converting H2O into CO2. My project, sadly, does not feature any chemical reactions that I know …show more content…
We make electricity using electric generators by using hydroelectric energy, wind energy, or nuclear energy. Electric motors work by passing alternating currents through opposing pairs of magnets to create a rotating magnetic field, which creates a magnetic field in the motor's rotor, causing it to spin around. My project relates to electricity by using conductive ink to complete a circuit featured in our kids toy.
Waves transfer energy. Sound is a wave because particles of the medium through which the sound is transported vibrate parallel to the direction that the sound wave moves. The 7 different types of electromagnetic waves are Gamma Ray, X-Ray, Ultraviolet, Visible, Infrared, Microwave, and Radio. My project does not really relate to waves but refers more to electricity. The EM waves that are incorporated however are Visible Rays. Update for whoever is reading this, it is currently 10:01 P.M. on Thursday and guess who procrastinated on finishing her amazing paper to go along with the equally amazing toy? This
