Let’s watch an experiment…
Charging and Object When two objects rub against each other (friction), electrons move or jump from one object to the other The objects that gain electrons will then have a negative charge The other object will have a positive charge http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/balloons If the simulation is not working, try another browser. It works best in Google Chrome.
Draw the charges on your whiteboard so that students can see what is happening!
