Prodan was writing on the whiteboard in the back of the room as the students filed into the class. Exams were closing in, and today would not be that much fun at all. Well, not compared to last week. This was a complex topic to discuss, and Prodan turned to the students. The notes vanished off the board, and the students looked a little confused at how the room was rearranged. The desks were faced so that they could see the back board. Prodan waited for them to sit down, and he said, "Morning, students! I am glad that we all appeared to have a good time on the field trip last week. This week we are going to cover a topic that we all were benefiting from at the apartment: electricity.” “Electricity is a very common part of muggle life. Most all items that muggles use consume some type of electricity. Wizards are unable to use it since it does not work properly in the presence of magic. Don't ask me why it doesn't cause even I don't know that answer.” Prodan turned to the board, and tapped it with his wand. The notes started to reappear in sections. "We are going to have a very brief overview here in class today to cover the basics. Electricity is a complicated matter at hand. Electricity is the flow of electrical power or charge. It is generated from conversion of another source of energy. Some ways of getting this conversion are to burn coal or natural gas. Nuclear reactions are another source of electricity along with water and batteries. Now, the basis of electricity lies in Electrons.” An image of an atom appeared on the board. "This is an atom. Those little dots are electrons." Prodan pointed out the black dots on the image. “Everything in the world contains atoms. There are both electrons and protons within an atom. The electrons are negatively charged and the protons are positively charged. When there are more electrons than protons within the atom, the atom has a negative charge. Electrons are able to detach from their atoms within certain materials when they outnumber the protons. These electrons are able to conduct electricity.” "Materials that are able to conduct electricity include metals, where those materials that are not able to conduct electricity include wood, glass, and rubber." Prodan tapped the board again. "Muggles harness electricity and use it to power items within their home. I am sure some of you used the refrigerator or television last week. The picture and cooling ability are dependent on the use of electricity." Prodan paused for a moment, and he continued, "I will admit that you can become very dependent on the use of electricity. One problem with moving back and forth from the magical world to the muggle world is that electricity does not work in the magical world. Electricity has what I can only call a bad reaction around the use of magic. As some of you may have noticed, I have been using my wand on the board today. In a muggle classroom, I would be using a computer and a program called powerpoint to project the images you see on the board today. Computers do not work within the walls of the castle. Powerpoint is a program for the computer that would allow me to place images on the wall or a screen and flip through them with ease for you.” Prodan sighed and knew that this was not the most exciting lessons for them. He wanted to make every lesson fun, but this was class, and it was school. So, every fun lesson had a downfall. “Okay. That is it for today. I know that this is not the most exciting thing to learn about, so I will just leave you with one last thought for the day." Prodan smirked, "Electricity can be deadly. When you are in the muggle world, avoid allowing electricity to pass through your body. Use caution. If you are unsure of how to work with an electrical item, ask someone how to use it. Electricity when used wrong has been known to cause death.” Prodan laughed softly, and he finished, "That's it, see you all later!" Homework: RP the lesson, and take some notes. |
