2. Section 1: The Atom and Charging Subatomic Particle Charges e: p: n:

3. Conductors: Demos: Find materials in the room that are conductors Line up washer and charge with high voltage Charge distilled water, city water and Gadorate Pass charge through bike tire Insulators: Demos: Place a charge on a balloon and notice charge location. Have students charge a letter and then do the same. Ask how a copier works. Use VDG to see of charge Is confined to areas

4. Ways to Charge an object 1) Charge by Contact or (friction):___________________________________

5. Triboelectric Series: A List that ranks materials according to how well they charge either (+) or (-). (refer to hand out) + POSITIVE END OF SERIES (materials with lower work function) asbestos glass nylon wool lead silk aluminum paper cotton steel hard rubber nickel & copper brass & silver synthetic rubber orlon saran polyethylene teflon silicone rubber - NEGATIVE END OF SERIES (materials with higher work function)

6. Charge by Polarization: Force between Charges: Demo: Have students hold balloons with charge to eachother. Electrons and Electrons:_________ Protons and Protons:____________ Electrons and Protons:___________

7. Charge By Induction

8. How a VDG Works

9. Extension Activities: Pie Pan Activity: 1) Describe How to make the aluminum ball bounce back and forth when you touch the ball. 2) Describe why the aluminum ball bounces back and forth when you touch it.
