1. Hungry Caterpillar Balloon Chain
How does this work?

2. Induced Charge Balloon has gained additional negative charges.
As you bring it near to the neutral wall the electrons in the wall are pushed away from their atoms.
This creates a very thin positively charged layer on the surface of the wall
The positive charge attracts the negative charge keeping the balloon in place.
Voila!
Wall

3. State that there are two kinds charge and describe how they interact

Electrostatics
In pairs collect two acetate strips, two polythene strips, a cloth and half a sheet of paper (you will need to tear it up into little bits).
Vigorously rub one of the strips with the cloth then bring it near to the pieces of paper
Vigorously rub a second strip then bring it close to one end of the first strip
EXT: Put the strip close running water – what happens?

5. Learning Objectives
By the end of this lesson you should...
Be able to recognise that insulating materials can become charged when rubbed with another insulating material.
Be able to state that there are two kinds charge and describe how they interact
Be able to describe static electricity in terms of the movement of electrons
Static charge builds on an insulating material when electrons transfer from one surface to another

6. Give up electrons = positive charge
These materials will tend to give up electrons when brought in contact with other materials.
Give up electrons = positive charge

7. Attract electrons = negative charge
These materials will tend to attract electrons when brought in contact with other materials.
Attract electrons = negative charge

Two different rods will attract each other if they have different charge:
Two rods made of the same material will repel each other due to having the same charge:

10. Teacher notes
This three-stage animation illustrates how static electricity is used to spray paint a car.
Suitable prompts include:
Stage 1: What instrument is used to spray paint a car?
Stage 2: Do the spray gun and the car body have the same overall charge?
Stage 3: Why is it important to reduce waste in factories?

Write the following statements in the correct order to create a flow chart:
Electrons are transferred from the belt to the metal dome
Initially, there is neutral charge everywhere
Each strand of hair has a negative charge
The belt is turned
Her hair sticks up
The dome becomes negatively charged
Electrons are stripped from the iron wool to the belt
The electrons flow from the dome, through the girl to her hair
Like charges repel so each strand tries to get away from the others
Now answer the following questions in your book:
1. Why does the girl stand in a plastic tray?
2. What will happen if someone shakes her hand? Why?
