But they won‘t allow that in public schools. (You could do homeschooling and play with fire, though!)

This is what a gauss gun does, but highly magnified.

It‘s like a Newton‘s Cradle, but it looks like a gun kind of. COOL!

[Bird Furious she/her/un/important]

Wow that’s awesomeeee. Awesome. Ausum.

It's a scaled down experiment that anyone can do, provided you have powerful enough magnets.

So for a gauss gun, it would have a lot more magnets and a lot more powerful magnets. Supposedly one of the more powerfull ones can send a 8mm spike up to 1700m/s

Still. It looked kind of gun like. Even though it was slow.

All that showed was the principle of the gun. Here's what one would actually look like.

What do you fellow teenagers *and kids for some reason* think an avid reader is? My new school has a club for "avid readers", which is a subjective statement, and I'm just wondering what you guys would consider that to be. 

~Thanks

[The Wandering Wizard he/him]

An avid reader in my family is someone who reads and often misses instructions in class because they are reading in class.

[Cone Slice]

Lol. My school also set up a reading competition and the girl who's in first has read a ton of books while being one of the top in our class. I have no idea how people have time to read, take several AP classes and get near perfect grades. I should study them...jk

We got to use fire and make this really cool thing where all the water got sucked into the jar because the fire- You know what, I‘ll stop now. But science is so fun, in homeschool at least. We also learn about explosive things on the periodic table! (I know, not what you were going for, but most of these things are radioactive.)

I think you might enjoy the book called What If?: Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions by Randall Munroe.

It's a book, hilarious, AND science.

I propose that we sacrifice the next adult who posts on this thread to the Communist Hat god. All in favor say aye. All NOT in favor, become resigned to a tormented existence where we force you to listen to polka music for the rest of your life.

Spoiler

I can feel my sanity slipping away every time I respond to this thread.

 

[Rabbit Unmade she/her]

Aye. Though the chance of an adult posting on here are slim. Most of them are inactive and the other few know to steer clear from here.

[Quivil]

Nay, because that will be me shortly and I don't wanna adult yet

And you can't make me listen to polka and be tormented

I'll just learn the polka and have fun as you force me to listen to polka

[Guest]

Aye

Wait! You could just pull a Lift and say you‘ve been seventeen for two years! (Or a little over a year.)  You don‘t need to dance the polka for eternity!

Aye, the Communist Hat God should be honoured in the sacrifice of non-hat wearing adult heads! Yarg!

We all must face out inner polka demons someday, Rabbit. Some day...

I'm reading that one right now! It's pretty great. There's another one called The Way Things Work Now by David Macaulay that's good too. It's a lot to take in. I borrowed it from the library, but I think I'm going to have to buy it.

Haly, I think you might just maybe overestimate the likelihood of an actual explosion.
