Topics
- Static Electricity
Description
Why does a balloon stick to your sweater? Rub a balloon on a sweater, then let go of the balloon and it flies over and sticks to the sweater. View the charges in the sweater, balloons, and the wall.
Sample Learning Goals
- Describe and draw models for common static electricity concepts (transfer of charge, induction, attraction, repulsion, and grounding)
Version 1.16
