HS, Physics Std 38: Identify methods by which an electric field can be created.

Lesson Plans: Electrostatics Have the students rub the plastics rod with the cloth and bring it near the scraps of paper and observe what happens. (The bits of paper should attract to the tube where it was rubbed.) Introduce the term "neutral" and "charged". We will say that something is neutral if it does not attract tiny bits of paper. We will call something charged if it attracts tiny bits of paper. What Is Electricity To develop an understanding of the fundamentals of static electricity, namely that of materials, conditions, and charge. To learn how to detect a charge by the use of electroscopes. To learn how to determine the force between charges. Static Balloon Experiment Electroscope Activity pick experiment number 1
