Static Race

In our science lesson today, we used fur to charge the lucite sticks which then moved our ruler by using static electricity. In this challenge, we raced our classmates to see who had the best methods and materials for the key to success. The winning team got their ruler to spin around ten times without being touched at all, only using the charged lucite sticks (static electricity). We took snapshots and video footage of our race from the beginning to the end. It was a fun way to learn about and experiment with the use of static electricity!
