This is a review of static charges and the activities with the static sticks.

Feel the force! This is a lab-tivity that will attract your interest!

Please investigate forces using the apparatus and links provided as well as the Wayground and PhET activity with the sweater and balloons.

Question 1
1.

Balloons
Inflate then investigate the balloons using
  • hair and clothes
  • light stream of water from faucet
  • paper dots
  • paper roll
In the Show Your Work box, include 2 pictures of your work. (2pts)

In the answer box, please type a few sentences or list the interactions of the balloons. (3pts)

Why do opposite charges attract?
to keep the charges separate
to transfer positive charges
to try to neutralize the total charge
Electrostatic force develops when ...
an object gains or loses protons
objects have charge(s)
a current flows
Can water molecules be influenced by electrostatic force?
Insert a photograph that supports your answer choice.
no
yes
If these negatively charged objects could move on their own, what would they do?

They would move far apart to dissipate and disperse the charge.
They would move far apart to neutralize the charge.
They would get closer together to concentrate and strengthen the charge.
They would move closer together to neutralize the charge.
The word electricity is derived from what?
The shock you feel from amazement
The Greek word for amber
The name of the Greek god of thunder
The discovery of charged pieces of atoms
Electrostatic forces from charges are always attractive forces just as gravity is always an attractive force.
True
False
What happens to the strength of the force between charged objects as they get closer to each other?
Force strength is not affected by distance.
Force strength decreases as they get closer together.
Force strength increases as they get closer together.
Why are the types of charges called positive and negative?
they act in opposite ways
they can cancel each other out like positive and negative numbers in math
to help us remember how the charges interact
there are two different types of charges, so they needed 2 names
