I n this book, we’re going to talk about some cool experiments you can do to learn about static electricity. So, let’s get right to it!


















































I f you’ve ever walked across a thick, plush carpet by dragging your feet and then you touched a doorknob, you may have felt a spark. That spark was a result of static electricity. If you pull your sweater off really fast, sometimes your hair will stick to the sweater or stick straight up in the air. That’s an example of static electricity too! There are examples of static electricity in nature as well. Lightning is actually a very dangerous form of static electricity.























































WHAT IS STATIC ELECTRICITY?
S tatic electricity happens at the atomic level. All matter is made up of atoms that are composed of electrons, which are negatively charged, protons, which are positively charged, and neutrons, which don’t have a charge. The neutrons as well as the protons are part of the central core of the atom called its nucleus.




T he electrons spin around the nucleus so, depending on the material, they can be more easily dislodged from their atoms. For example, if you rub the surface of a balloon with a cloth very quickly, it will build up a charge of electrons, which have negative charges.





N ow the balloon will attract positively charged items and repel negatively charged items.
Here are some projects to do so you can see the effects of static electricity. Make sure an adult is supervising whenever you do experiments!
