Whether it's a faulty appliance or a bolt of lightning, an electric shock can be fatal. How can we avoid electric shocks? Physics - Electricity And Circuits - Learning Points. If humans become part of an electric circuit they will...

A build up of static electricity is usually harmless, resulting in only small shocks. But in some cases it can be deadly. Discover the danger static electricity poses for helicopters and their crew. Physics - Electricity And Circuits -...

We investigate the effect that unbalanced charge has on polar molecules. We rub a balloon against hair to build up a negative charge and then hold this near a stream of water and then a stream of treacle. They both bend towards the...

We use a Van de Graaff generator to investigate static electricity. The generator is turned on and we see a spark move between the two domes. We then place a wig on the main dome and see the hair rise as the charge builds and the hairs...

Discover that lightning is a form of static energy.

This video explores cause and effect relationships of magnetism, as well as electric interactions. The program explains how students can conduct an activity that illustrates how magnets exhibit forces on specific types of matter, and...

Isn't it a magic when you can move a pencil without touching it?! We are exploring the magical world of static electricity.

5 best cool science experiments with balloons everyone should do at least once

Are your kids bored of watching the same old magic tricks from a magician? Well, why not invite them to a science party instead! Here we make our own magic with dancing foil. When rubbing a balloon on wool, a charge known as...

Kids love Halloween, and that's why this spooky experiment is perfect for them! Try reviving skeletons and make them dance with the black magic of static electricity! This trick is done with the help of a balloon. You need to rub it...

Are you always tinkering, investigating and exploring new things? Here are some fun science experiments to keep your inner Einstein busy. It is pretty safe to say that most find experiments super cool. Some might even say it’s magic! But...

Discover the fascinating journey of electricity generation in this concise video. From Michael Faraday's initial experiments with copper coils and magnets to modern hydroelectric turbines, learn how electric currents are created and...

Explore the essentials of electricity in this engaging video. Learn how it powers our daily devices and delve into the atomic world of neutrons, protons, and electrons. Discover the fascinating process of how electrical charges are...

This video covers: - That static charge builds up on non-conducting materials by the transfer of electrons - Static charge doesn't normally build up on conducting materials, but can occasionally - When static charge is discharged it can...

Dr. Forrester examines the discovery of electricity by creating a timeline. She also shares information about Thomas Edison and his invention of the light bulb.

Dr. Forrester defines static electricity by conducting a simple experiment using a balloon. She also identifies the two types of electricity by describing static electricity and current electricity.

Dr. Forrester defines the terms current, electricity, and static electricity by recognizing that electricity is a physical science that is important in daily life. She also compares and contrasts the properties of current electricity and...

Dr. Forrester defines the terms: atoms, protons, electrons, and neutrons. She explains that atoms are made up of protons, electrons and neutrons. She also teaches that all electricity comes from the electrically charged particles.

Static Electricity demonstrates that an electrically-charged object can attract an uncharged object by conducting an experiment with a charged balloon and paper.

Make tissue paper frogs jump up to a balloon charged with static electricity.

This video describes the basic role that atoms play in creating electrical charges, as well as the nature and creation of static electricity. Various methods of charging are discussed, emphasizing the role that insulators and conductors...

Electricity makes our lives easier every day. We use electricity in our work and play. Because electricity is virtually unseen, it is often difficult to understand just where it comes from and how it works. By watching the video and...
