Students come to understand static electricity by learning about the nature of electric charge, and different methods for charging objects. In a hands-on activity, students induce an electrical charge on various objects, and experiment with electrical repulsion and attraction.

Engineers are so creative: Would you ever think that the air we breathe could be cleaned by using the behavior of electrical charges? Engineers who fully understand the scientific principles of static electricity have invented many modern products and industrial processes that help our environment. For example, different types of electrostatic precipitators clean both factory and home air, and electronic paper can be used for communication and re-used over and over again. Understand the basic properties of electric charge.Describe technologies associated with static electricity.Explain the transfer of electrons between two objects.Compare different objects based on their electric charge. 50TeachEngineering.orgXochitl Zamora ThompsonSabre DurenJoe FriedrichsenDaria Kotys-SchwartzMalinda Schaefer ZarskeDenise Carlsonhttp://www.teachengineering.org/collection/cub_/activities/cub_electricity/cub_electricity_lesson02_homework_worksheet.pdfhttp://www.teachengineering.org/collection/cub_/activities/cub_electricity/cub_electricity_lesson02_homework_worksheet_answers.pdfhttp://www.teachengineering.org/collection/cub_/activities/cub_electricity/cub_electricity_lesson02_extensionactivity.pdfDitlea, Steve. “The Electronic Paper Chase.” Scientific American.
