ScienceHow Lithium-ion Batteries Store and Release Energy
A lithium-ion battery stores energy by holding lithium in its graphite electrode. When it powers a device, lithium ions cross inside to the metal oxide electrode while electrons flow through the device. Charging pushes both back.
ScienceHow Solar Panels Turn Sunlight into Electricity
A solar panel is made of silicon cells that turn light straight into electricity. Light frees electrons, an electric field at the p-n junction pushes them one way, and they flow round a circuit as direct current, which an inverter changes to AC for homes.
ScienceNewton's Three Laws of Motion Explained
Newton's three laws explain how forces change motion: with no resultant force motion does not change, resultant force equals mass times acceleration, and forces always come in equal and opposite pairs acting on different objects.
ScienceSeries vs Parallel Circuits: Key Differences
In a series circuit there is one path, so the current is the same everywhere and the voltage is shared. In a parallel circuit each branch gets the full voltage and the branch currents add up. This poster compares the two side by side.
ScienceStates of Matter: Solids, Liquids and Gases in the Particle Model
Solids, liquids and gases are made of the same kinds of particles; only their spacing, arrangement and movement differ. This poster compares the three states and shows the changes of state and whether each takes in or gives out energy.
