Static Electricity

katiat2016

Today in our science class  we did a experiment on static electricity. We used fur to give a static charge to the lucite sticks which we held beside the paper on the ruler that made our ruler turn in circles. This experiment had us racing with other teams in our class to see who had the best strategy and which group chose the best materials and fabrics to use. The rules to this competition were tat we weren’t allowed to touch the ruler and when had to make it spin around 10 times as fast as we could using static electricity. While 2 of the people from the group were racing another member from the group  took snapshots and videos  of our race from the beginning to the end with some extra clips of us charging out Lucite sticks and adjusting the ruler so it would stay balanced on the glass lenses. It was a pretty fun way to start off our unit on static electricity!
