Static Spoons
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners will explore how static electricity affects surrounding objects.

Static Electricity
Source Institutions
In this quick activity, learners explore static electricity using a plastic comb, wool cloth, puffed rice, and a plastic bag.

Cleaning Air with Balloons
Learners observe a simple balloon model of an electrostatic precipitator. These devices are used for pollutant recovery in cleaning industrial air pollution.

Static Cling
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate static electricity using everyday objects at four different stations.

Charge and Carry
Source Institutions
In this activity about electricity, learners produce a spark that they can feel, see, and hear. Learners rub a Styrofoam plate with wool to give it an electric charge.

Jumping Beans
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will explore the concept of static electricity.

Electricity: Fruit Batteries
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a battery from fruit. This activity helps learners explore electricity, electrochemistry, and series circuits as well as the process of scientific inquiry.

Invisible Investigations
Source Institutions
Using indirect observational methods, learners distinguish between charged and uncharged objects.

Dancing Cereal
Source Institutions
In this quick activity (on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Body Electricity Activity), learners will observe how dry breakfast cereal appears to dance when it gets close to a balloon charged with static

Holding Charge
Source Institutions
In this trick, learners discover how to stick a straw to the palm of their hand, window door, or anywhere using static electricity.
