More About Electrons
Electrons were found a long time ago. A smart man named J.J. Thomson found them in 1897. He used a tube to see them. This was a big deal for science!
We use electrons every day. They help our lights work and make our phones run. Without them, we would not have many things we use.
In the future, we may learn more about electrons. They might help us find new ways to make power. This could help our world stay clean and bright!
