This wave and electromagnetism assignment is so thorough, it could be used as a unit exam. The first section of it covers wave concepts. The next section addresses static electricity. There is a section that deals with electric circuits....

Slide paper over a plastic straws to generate static electricity, and then stick that straw to glass, a wall, or even your own hands! This is a science activity that students can use to show parents what they learn in school whenever...

Students break up into groups to complete a demonstration rubbing a balloon in hair make their hair stand up. Thus, they conclude static electricity. They also experiment with a paper station, ping pong station and a water station...

Students experiment to investigate static electricity.  In this static electricity lesson, students prepare a balloon head and draw a face on it.  Students rub the nose and the balloon moves toward the student rubbing.

In this chemistry worksheet, students learn about atoms and static electricity. They read about these topics and then use what they learned to answer the 11 questions on the page. The answers are on the last page of the packet.

In this scientific investigation instructional activity, students follow the provided procedures to examine static electricity and then respond to 1 short answer question.

Electricity is the focus of this college-level midterm exam. It requres physics learners to answer multiple choice and short answer questions in addition to evaluating several diagrams and graphs. This is appropriate for most high school...

Fifth graders explore further the importance of static electricity by playing a game which reinforces and reviews static electricity concepts.

In this static electricity worksheet, students experiment with balloons, plastic bags and flannel clothes to observe attraction and repulsion of objects. Students complete three data tables indicating the charge on the objects and if...

Students experiment with a Leyden Jar, a device that stores electrical charges. A large voltage can be built up in this jar by adding more and more charge. The modern name for this device is a capacitor.

Students explore atomic structure including protons and electrons, in order to proceed with lessons on static electricity.

In this writing prompt worksheet, students learn that January 9th is National Static Electricity Day. Students then research five facts about the cause of static electricity using resources in their classroom. Students summarize the...

Students work in groups to conduct experiments the demonstrate the differences between static and kinetic friction. They consider how friction affects us in our everyday lives, determine the effects of weight on friction and complete a...

Did you get to play with electric currents or were you grounded? An electrifying simulation shows how building up a charge of electricity creates a static shock once grounded. Pupils rub John's foot across the carpet and view the buildup...

Through inquiry and exploration, 4th graders will learn and understand the functions of open and closed circuits. They will break into 2 groups, define vocabulary, hypothesize how to light a bulb, then test their hypothesis 4 different...

Pupils identify hypotheses related to static electricity, to begin to test the hypotheses, to begin to develop conclusions related to observations, to demonstrate that like charges repel and unlike charges attract each other, to name...

Fifth graders, after completing a K-W-L-H Chart on electricity, discuss and illustrate the four ways lightening can move.

Students create a list of things that they do with electrical power. They then are shown a PowerPoint on "Basic Electrical Safety." Students evaluate electrical equipment, cords and situations for serviceability and safety problems. They...

Students watch instructor present demonstrations of the basic principles of static electricity, and then conduct some of their own experiments. In small groups, students build simple circuits, using batteries, to try to light up a light...

Students complete an experiment about static electricity. They are provided with a small plate that has gelatin and then given a small balloon. Students put the balloon above the gelatin and observe what happens, and then slowly raise...

In this magic of static electricity set of station activities worksheets, students perform 4 activities with static electricity including popping corn, jumping peanuts, weird water, and dancing balloons. They complete the recording...

In this static electricity activity, students review terms and concepts relating to electricity. Students place 21 vocabulary words into a crossword puzzle.

Students conduct various experiments to explore the concepts that static electricity is the cause of lightning.

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