The 3 most important things we have learned through static electricity:

– I learn from the experiment that static electricity is somehow connected to friction—that it’s the very act of rubbing ballon that produces a buildup of electrical energy.

–  I also know about electrons are often charged with friction. Moreover, how two  things conduct  that are insulators and do not let electrons passthrough.

–  Nevertheless, I learn the properties of each part and their reaction when they act with each other and  the concept of  making  the atom negative, positive, or neutral. It becomes mush  easier for me  to tell if an atom is positively charged, or negatively charged.

The lab I find the most helpful in understanding static is : Van de Graaff generator

Explain how it was helpful: It gives me further understanding of how electrons and charge pass from one object to the other.

When I touched the generator, my hair started lifting high. I don’t know why this happened. Throughout the explanation from teacher is because that when  you touch the generator, all that electricity will go through your body giving you a big shock.
