Lesson Plan

Serc: Investigating Static Electricity: Creating Lightning on Much Smaller Scale

Curated by ACT

In this elementary science activity, students will experiment with static electricity using balloons. After investigating how balloons attract and repel various objects, students will watch a simulation of static electricity to help gain an understanding of the movement of the charged protons and electrons. Finally, students will observe how static electricity can create a spark of "lightning".
