discharge. That is the shock you feel.
I’m going to give you some objects and we are going to create static electricity.
Give each row a wool, rod, and paper. Demonstrate and then have them do it and discuss with their
partners what is happening with the charges. Who is losing electrons? What is happening with paper.
The paper is undergoing charge separation. It’s neutral, but when brought near a charged object charges
separate. Draaw it on the board.
Now I would like one person in each row to collect their materials and throw away paper.
Pull out a piece of paper. And draw an image like this.
Sponge: Have students help partner, read a book, finish other homework.
