It was overcast today. We did some study about circuits in science. Good thing we already had that science kit, so we had everything to build both series and parallel setups. Easy peasy. It's kinda like just hooking everything up in one loop, or putting a few loops side-by-side. When I was later doing this hands-on part, though, I got a little mischievous. Dad had told me never to create a short circuit, but that only made me more curious. So, I pretended not to know better and deliberately made one. I have to admit it didn’t live up to my hype. I mean, I was expecting dramatic scenes like visible sparks or surging arc. Instead, I did feel the wires heat up a bit, and this little wisp of smoke curled out from the battery pack. Dad wasn't happy and he gave me an earful, anyway, I was thrilled. Made for a pretty interesting day!
