TEACHING THE LESSON
Introducing the Lesson:
Lesson engagement
Each student receives a pre-inflated balloon. Students rub the balloons on their
clothes, their hair, etc., to make them statically charged.
Students allow their charged balloons to interact with pepper
Class Discussion: What did you observe? What is the name of this scientific
phenomenon? (static electricity) Brief lecture to introduce the definition of static electricity
and the focus questions
Focus question(s):
What kinds of materials can become statically charged?
What are different ways that charged objects interact with one
another? Why?
Plans for DifferentiationNot only are students being exposed to the hands-on activities that go with this lesson,
but we have also incorporated a computer activity for those students who need the
information to be reinforced. In this activity, students can get a closer look to what is
happening with the charges inside of the object we are charging, as well as show some of
the key ideas, i.e. same charges repel, while opposite charges attract.
Procedures for teaching the Content Retrieve objects to test to see if they can be statically charged. Hand out a variety of
materials (wood, plastic, Styrofoam, washer). Explain to students that in order to charge a
material, they will rub the wool over the material for approximately 30 seconds. Students
will then hold the material they are testing over the plate of pepper. If the material picks up
the pepper, it is statically charged. If it does not pick up the pepper, the object cannot be
statically charged. Have students record predictions before testing
Discussion
What materials were we able to statically charge?
