Static Cling

Students define the term static electricity and how to it.  In this electricity lesson students design and implement an experiment to show how static electricity affects their daily lives. 

Cling to a lesson on static electricity. Pupils take part in experiments where they see how paper from hole punchers, packing peanuts, puffed rice cereal, and other items react when placed near a rubbed balloon. They learn how electrons...

Fifth graders explore static electricity. They listen to and discuss the book, 'All About Electricity,' participate in two experiments, and design and present a static electricity demonstration.

Fifth graders investigate static electricity. In small groups, they conduct two experiments, observe and record data and results, and discuss the conclusions to the experiments.

Students work together to discover the concept of static electricity. They participate in an experiment in which they test different objects charge. They make observations and record them for later use.

Fifth graders conduct an investigation using glass, metal ,fur, latex balloon, plastic bag and hair to generate static electricity of varying amounts. They predict, observe, make comparisons, and draw conclusions about static electricity...

Students explain how static electricity is produced. In this electricity activity, students design an experiment to reduce static electricity. They share and discuss findings in class.

Students explore static electrical charges and compare conductors and insulators. In this electricity lesson, students perform activities that illustrate how objects receive a static electrical charge. Experiments are performed to...
