Nickname for British sailors.
What are limeys?
James Lind suggested that distillation be used for this purpose.

What is a Founding Father?
A simple explanation of lightning.
What is lightning is just a big spark?

What is the HMS Salisbury?
The specific type of fruit of lemons, limes, oranges, etc. that has more vitamin C in them and helped lead to curing scurvy.
What are citrus fruits?
The distillation process.
What is boiling ocean water, taking the steam from the boiled water, letting it condense and then collecting the water from this condensed ocean water steam and drinking it?
The kite experiment led to this.
What is the invention of the lightning rod?

Clinical trials.
What are trying different treatments in order to see which is the most effective?
Placebo.
What is the person who receives a fake treatment (does not actually receive the treatment), while the others actually receive the treatment? This way they think they are getting the treatment, and it can be seen more clearly if the treatment actually works or not.

The Law of Charge Conservation.
What is - the law of conservation of charge states that the total electric charge in an isolated system remains constant over time. This means that the net charge of an isolated system will always remain the same, regardless of the processes occurring within it. Charge can neither be created nor destroyed; it can only be transferred from one part of the system to another?
