STATIC ELECTRICITY STATIONS
Objective: To conduct static electricity experiments in order to determine how charged objects affect each other. Energy Note: How do charged objects affect one another? Drill: 1. Get a station sheet and a chart from the SET. 2. Think – What will happen if a balloon was rubbed on someone’s head and then let go? Be prepared to answer. one EEM-6B

STATIC ELECTRICITY STATIONS
Interactions Between Charged Particles The two types of charged particles interact in specific ways. Charged particles that are the same repel each other. Charged particles that are opposite attract each other. Neutral particles have no effect on charged particles or other neutral particles. one EEM-6B

STATIC ELECTRICITY STATIONS
STATIC ELECTRICITY AND THE ATOM There are three methods by which charges are transferred, friction, conduction, and induction. Friction is the transfer of electrons from one object to another by rubbing. Conduction is the transfer of electrons from a charged object to another by direct contact. Induction is the movement of electrons to one part of an object by the electric field of another object. one EEM-6B

STATIC ELECTRICITY STATIONS
You will be performing experiments at a variety of stations. You may not get to every station. This is OK. For each station you are to: Tell what you did. Record your observations. Try to explain what you observed (Think about the charges of each object before they are brought together.) one EEM-6B

***After each experiment discharge all materials. Before you begin each experiment you may wish to see how the uncharged materials react when placed near each other. one EEM-6B

STATIC ELECTRICITY STATIONS
Walling Around Object 1: Balloon (charged) Object 2: Wall (neutral) Charging: Rub balloon on hair Action: Place the balloon on the wall. Prediction: Result: The balloon sticks to the wall. Oppositely charged objects attract. one EEM-6B
14
STATIC ELECTRICITY STATIONS
Rule on Rule Object 1: Ruler (charged) Object 2: Ruler (same charge) Charging: Rub ruler with wax paper Action: Move rulers near each other. Prediction: Result: The rulers repel each other. Objects with like charges repel. one EEM-6B
15
STATIC ELECTRICITY STATIONS
Combing Water Object 1: Comb (charged) Object 2: Water (neutral) Charging: Rub comb with cloth or fur Action: Bring the comb near the water. Prediction: Result: The water is attracted to the comb. Oppositely charged objects attract. one EEM-6B
16
STATIC ELECTRICITY STATIONS
Twin Balloons Object 1: Balloon (charged) Object 2: Balloon (same charge) Charging: Rub fur on the balloons Action: Put the balloons together Prediction: Result: The balloons repel each other. Objects with the same charge repel. one EEM-6B
17
STATIC ELECTRICITY STATIONS
Paper Dance Object 1: Plastic lid (charged) Object 2: Punched paper (neutral) Charging: Rub balloon on hair Action: Shake the paper Prediction: Result: The paper is attracted to the lid. A charged object will attract a neutral object. one EEM-6B
18
STATIC ELECTRICITY STATIONS
Balloon Head (DEMO) Object 1: Tape (charged) Object 2: Tape (same charge) Charging: Rip tape off counter Action: Put the pieces of tape together. Prediction: Result: The tape pieces repel each other. Oppositely charged objects attract. one EEM-6B
