Science Fair Projects Kids Will Enjoy Part Seven – Static Electricity
Science Fair Projects Kids Will Enjoy Part Seven – Static Electricity
24 Hour Science Projects
Here is part seven of our Science Fair projects Kids Will Enjoy about static Electricity. In this experiment we are going to see how to objects that are negatively laden are attracted to objects that are positively laden. Once the objects are no longer negatively laden, they are not drawn by a positively laden object any more.
Remember for a full science project you will have to combine this whole series, so, I hope you have time to wait for them all! If not, there is a very good solution for you, go to 24 Hour Science Projects; there you will find complete science fair projects you can do in 24 hours or less! So, if you are in a hurry, go to 24 Hour Science Projects now!
Here are our science fair projects kids will enjoy:
Remember, for all science fair projects you have to make notes of everything you do, why you do it, what you are trying to prove or demonstrate and your conclusion. It is always a good idea to take photos for your exhibition.
The case of the dancing paper dolls:
What you need for your experiment:
- Two books
- A glass disk
- A metal plate
- Two books
- Tissue paper dolls about 3cm tall (cut any way you prefer as long as they not too big)
- A woolen cloth
How to do your experiment:
- Cut out your paper dolls (about 3-4)
- Place two books a little way apart with the metal plate between them
- Place the glass disk over them to be over the metal plate
- Place the paper dolls in the metal plate
- What happens when you place the paper dolls on the metal plate under the glass disk?
- Now rub the glass disk with the woolen cloth for a few minutes
- What happens?
- Why does it happen?
- By rubbing the glass disk with the woolen cloth it is loaded with electron to make it negative
- Now the disk draws the positively laden paper dolls and they are also loaded
- Now they drop down and the metal plate draws the electrons from them, once again making them positive
- Now the glass draws them again and so the dance continues
I think this can be quite a good display for your friends to admire!
This is the seventh of our short series of science fair projects kids will enjoy. Look out for the others as doing all these experiments as one will probably be the best way of doing a thorough science fair project.
