A 500-word essay on my discovery, the horse fell asleep standing up

My discovery

One day, I was playing in school and accidentally discovered a group of children lying on the ground, looking at something intently.

Because I was curious, I was about to go over to see what was going on. Fang Chao and others asked me to go play. I told them to wait a moment. They asked me what I was doing. I pointed there with my finger, and they I also said that I wanted to see what happened. So, our detective team set off. When we got there, we were all stunned. We found a little boy burning an ant with a magnifying glass in the strong sunlight. I watched the ant slowly burn to death under the magnifying glass. I went home with questions.

As soon as I got home, I asked my mother what was going on and why the ants were burned to death by the magnifying glass. My mother said: "Use your brain and think about it first. If you really can't think of it, then look up the information." I thought about it for a long time and didn't know the answer. So, I watched "One Hundred Thousand Whys" and found out that the reason was: the sun's rays are focused into a point through a convex lens, forming a very high temperature that can ignite matchsticks and tissue paper.

Although I don’t quite understand this principle now, I believe I will understand it when I grow up. It turns out that science is everywhere in life!

What I discovered

One night, it suddenly started raining heavily, and the thunder scared me out of my mind. After a while, the rain finally stopped, and I breathed a sigh of relief.

However, at this time, while I was reading under the desk lamp, I noticed small black shadows flying around. I took a closer look and saw that they were nasty little flying ants! I immediately took out the electric mosquito swatter and prepared to kill them one by one. But no matter how hard I hit them, they seemed to be unable to die, which made me jump in anger. A flying ant also fell on the tea I had just made. I said dumbfounded: "You little things really know how to enjoy it!" But just as I turned around to kill other flying ants, I looked at it. The little thing on the tea actually struggled and died after a while. Is this hateful little thing afraid of hot water? I had an idea and immediately brought out a plate of hot water from the kitchen, then brought the lamp from the room and let the light shine on the hot water plate. After I was ready, I turned off all the lights in the room. After a while, the flying ants flew into the hot water dish along the light and died after struggling, just as I imagined. After a while, I almost wiped out all the flying ants in the house. I was so happy at that time, because I discovered the secret to getting rid of the nasty little flying ants!

In fact, as long as we pay attention to the trivial things around us and use our brains, we will understand a lot of things. Unexpected knowledge. In this way, we not only broaden our horizons, but also feel the excitement that comes from discovering secrets. Friends, come and give it a try!
