1. How is electricity produced? The most simple way of producing static ekectricity is by rubbing or friction. When you rub two different kind of materials that are insulator‚ you can transfer electrons from one substance to another. Nowadays‚ to create electricity we use battery and generators. Voltage can be made by heart‚ light or mechanical pressure. http://science.howstuffworks.com/electricity-info2.htm 2. Where and how is electricity used? Electricity gives us ability to produce

Does Human-Produced Carbon Dioxide Contribute to Global Warming? There are always two sides to an issue. This is especially true in Science. Each side will gather facts and statistics to help their argument. They will also fuel the argument with their opinions. Some articles are more persuasive in their reasoning then others. This persuasion can ultimately change a person’s opinion of the issue. The question to be answered is does human-produced carbon dioxide contribute significantly to
