In Book Club this week, we’ve got stuck into some books related to our topics for the half term: art and electricity!
We found some really interesting facts:
- Electricity is measured in volts and amps.
- Tall buildings have lightning conductors on top of them.
- When lightning strikes, its temperature is around 30,000 °C which is hotter than the surface of the sun!
- The electric eel can discharge more than 600V!
- Leonardo Da Vinci loved animals and refused to eat meat. It’s said he bought caged birds just to let them go.
- Andy Warhol became famous for painting and screen printing everyday items such as soup cans as well as celebrities such as Marilyn Monroe.
