Have you ever visited a science fair? It’s a place for bright
ideas.
A girl named Ann had a bright idea. Her friend had no
electricity, and so had no light at night. Without light, her friend could not
study at night. Ann realized she might solve this serious problem.
Ann created a hollow flashlight using various parts but no
battery! Ann realized that heat from her hands could fuel, or power, her
flashlight and make it light up.
Ann’s creation got top prize in a science fair.
