The process of lighting


Lighting is one of the most beautiful yet deadly phenomenons  of nature, however many people don’t know how it is formed. Lighting begins with the cycle of water. In the process of the water cycle, moisture can accumulate in the atmosphere. This accumulation is what we see as a cloud. As the process of evaporation and condensation continues, these droplets collide other moisture that is in the process of condensing as it rises. Also, the rising moisture may collide with ice or sleet that is in the process of falling to the earth or located in the lower portion of the cloud. The importance of these collisions is that electrons are knocked off of the rising moisture, thus creating a charge separation. When there is a charge separation in a cloud, there is also an electric field that is associated with the separation. While the rising moisture encounters colder temperatures in the upper cloud regions and begins to freeze, the frozen portion becomes negatively charged and the unfrozen droplets become positively charged. Eventually the negative charge of the base of the cloud gives the earth a positive charge. When the electrical potential reaches approximately ten thousand volts per centimeter, ionization occurs along a narrow path and the result is a flash of lightning.

DNA The Easy Way

1) Believe it or not, the process of completing a DNA test is not very difficult.
2)
  • Human cells are collected
  • The cells from a person's cheek are collected using a swab
  • The cell sample are sent to a laboratory
  • The DNAfrom the swab are extracted
  • Many samples arecreated
  • The samples are put in a gel mixture and subjected to electric current
  • A DNA probe is attached to the sample
  • The film of the DNA strand is developed
  • More probes are used to test the strand
3) First of all, ultimately
4) DNA testing has become very popular, so it is now available on the Internet. Ordinary people can now order in-home DNA tests and get their results in just a few days.

DNA the easy way

1) the topic of the paragraph

the process of completing a DNA test

2)List the nine steps that make up the process of DNA testing.


  *   Human cell must be collected 

  *   Scientists extract the DNA from the swab
  *   They create many samples from it.
  *   Then the samples are put into a gel mixture

 *    And are subjected to an electric current.
 *    DNA probe can then be used, which attaches itself to the sample

 *    Analyse the probes location of DNA attachment and identify.
 *    Develop the film of this unique DNA strand.


3)3) What two transitional words or phrases in "DNA the Easy Way" can you find that have similar meanings to 'first' and 'finally'

First of all
 Ultimately,


4) Reread the last two sentences in the paragraph. What suprising information is given in these sentences. With what idea do they conclude the paragraph?
The two final sentences given the information tha DNA testing is now available on the Internet. We can order the DNA test from the internet and get the results in a few days
