    Activity 1
    Charged interactions
    Objectives
    After performing this activity, you should be able to:
    1. charge a material by friction;
    2. observe the behavior of charged objects;
    3. distinguish between the two types of charges; and
    4. demonstrate how objects can be discharged.

    Materials Needed:
    Strong adhesive tape (transparent)

    Procedure:
    1. Using a meter stick, pull off a 40- to 60- cm piece of adhesive tape and fold
    a short section of it (~1 cm) to make a nonsticky "handle" at that end of the
    tape.

    2. Lay the tape adhesive side down and slide your finger along the tape to
    firmly attach it to a smooth, dry surface of a table.

    3. Peel the tape from the surface vigorously pulling up on the handle you have
    made on one end. See figure below. Make sure that the tape does not curl
    up around itself or your fingers.

    4. While holding the tape up by the handle and away from other objects,
    attach the tape to the horizontal wooden piece or the edge of your table.
    Make sure that the sticky side does not come in contact with other objects.
    5. Bring your finger near, but not touching, the nonsticky side of the tape. Is
    there any sign of interaction between the tape and the finger?

    6. Try this with another object. Is there any sign of interaction between the
    tape and this object?

    7. Prepare another tape as described in steps 1 to 3.

    8. Bring the nonsticky side of the two charged tapes you prepared near
    each other. Do you observe any interaction?

    9. Drag a moistened sponge across the nonsticky side of the tapes and
    repeat steps 5, 6 and 8. Do you still observe any interaction?

    10. Record your observations.

    Activity 2
    To charge or not to charge
    Objective
    After performing this activity, you should be able to apply the
    phenomenon of polarization and grounding to charge a material by induction.

    Materials Needed:
     Styrofoam cup
     soft drink can
     balloon

    Procedure:
    1. Mount the soft drink can on the Styrofoam cup as seen in
    Figure 4.

    2. Charge the balloon by rubbing it off your hair or your


    classmate’s hair. Note: This will work only if the hair is
    completely dry.

    3. Place the charged balloon as near as possible to the soft


    drink can without the two objects touching.

    4. Touch the can with your finger at the end opposite the
    balloon.

    5. Remove your hand and observe how the balloon and


    the can will interact.

    Q1. What do you think is the charge acquired by the balloon

    after rubbing it against your hair?

    Q2. In which part of the activity did polarization


    occur? Explain.

    Q3. What is the purpose of touching the can in step


    #4?

    Q4. Were you able to charge the soft drink can? Explain how this happened.

    Q5. Based on your answer in Q1, what do you think is the charge of the soft
    drink can?

    Activity 3
    Pass the charge
    Objective
    After performing this activity, you should be able to charge a
    material by conduction.

    Materials Needed:
     2 styrofoam cups
     2 softdrink cans
     balloon

    Procedure:
    1. Repeat all steps of Activity 2.

    2. Let the charged can-cup set-up from


    Activity 2 touch a neutral can-cup set-
    up as shown in Figure 7.

    3. Separate the two set-ups then observe how the charged balloon interacts
    with the first and second set-up.

    Q1. Were you able to charge the can in the second set-up? Explain how
    this happened.

    Q2. Is it necessary for the two cans to come into contact for charging to happen?
    Why or why not?

    Q3. From your observation in step 3, infer the charge acquired by the can
    in the second set-up.

    Activity 4
    When lightning strikes
    Objectives:
    After performing this activity, you should be able to:
    1. explain how lightning occurs;
    2. discuss ways of avoiding the dangers associated with lightning; and
    3. explain how a lightning rod functions.

    Materials Needed: access to reference books or to the Internet

    Procedure:
    1. Learn amazing facts about lightning by researching the answers to
    the following questions:
     What is a lightning?
     Where does a lightning originate?
     How ‘powerful’ is a lightning bolt?
     Can lightning’s energy be caught stored, and used?
     How many people are killed by lightning per year?
     What can you do to prevent yourself from being struck by lightning?
     Some people have been hit by lightning many times. Why have
    they
     survived?
     How many bushfires are started by lightning strikes?
     ‘Lightning never strikes twice in the same place.’ Is this a myth or a fact?
     What are lightning rods? How do they function?

    Activity 5
    Let there be light!
    Objectives:
    After performing this activity, you should be able to:
    1. identify
 the
 appropriate arrangements
 of
 wire, bulb
 and battery

    which

 bulb; and
    2. describe the
 two requirements for an
 electric
 circuit to function.

    Materials Needed:
     3- or 1.5-volt battery
     2-meter copper wires/ wires with alligator clips
     pliers/ wire cutter
     1.5- watt bulb/ LED

    Procedure:
    1. Work with a partner and discover the appropriate arrangements of wires, a
    battery and a bulb
that will
make the bulb light.

    2. Once you are successful
in the arrangement, draw a diagram representing


    your circuit.

    3. Compare your output with other pairs that are successful in their
    arrangement.

    Q1. What difficulties did you encounter in performing this activity?

    Q2. How does your work compare with other pair’s work?
