Science Fair Projects Kids Will Enjoy Part Seven – Static Electricity

Science Fair Projects Kids Will Enjoy Part Seven – Static Electricity

24 Hour Science Projects

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!

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:

  1. Cut out your paper dolls (about 3-4)
  2. Place two books a little way apart with the metal plate between them
  3. Place the glass disk over them to be over the metal plate
  4. Place the paper dolls in the metal plate
  5. What happens when you place the paper dolls on the metal plate under the glass disk?
  6. Now rub the glass disk with the woolen cloth for a few minutes
  7. What happens?
  8. 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.

If you want to make sure you do a really winning science fair project; go to 24 Hour Science Projects now! Access is instant; your project can be ready tomorrow.

Here is part six of our Science Fair projects Kids Will Enjoy about static Electricity. In this experiment we are going to see how to a spoon, laden with static electricity, will draw puffed wheat or rice to it. Opposite to a negative and a negative “pushing” each other away as in our previous example.

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!

The case of the plastic spoon and the puffed wheat or rice:

What you will need for this experiment:

  • A bowl of puffed wheat or rice
  • A plastic teaspoon
  • A wooly sweater

How to do your experiment:

  1. Without doing anything to the spoon, keep it just above the bowl of puffed wheat or rice.
  2. What happens?
  3. Rub the spoon on your sweater for a few minutes to load it with the extra electrons until it is negative.
  4. Now hold the spoon just above the bowl of puffed wheat or rice.
  5. What happens?
  6. Keep the spoon there.
  7. Why does it happen?
  8. What happens after a short while?
  9. Why does it happen?

After you have done all the previous science projects, you should be able to explain what happened here. Remember you should be able to give a scientific explanation for every step and why you are doing it.

Have a look at all our other science fair projects kids will enjoy to see how the whole process follows one on the other. It is important with these science fair projects kids will enjoy to do them all to make a complete science fair project. If you are in a hurry, go to: 24 Hour Science Projects now! There you will find complete projects that can be done in 24 hour or less.

The case of the hostile balloons!

What you will need:

  • 2 Balloons
  • 2 pieces of string
  • A wooly sweater

How to do this experiment:

  1. Blow up both balloons as much as possible without bursting them
  2. Tie them with the strings
  3. Rub both on your sweater for a few minutes
  4. What happens?
  5. Why do you think it happens?
  6. What happens to the balloon closest to your sweater?

After you have rubbed the balloons on your sweater, they are both negatively laden with electrons they withdrew from your sweater. Because the sweater has given off the electrons it is now positively laden, this is why the balloon closest to your sweater sticks to your sweater while the two balloons drift far apart. So, what does that tell you about two objects that are negative or positively laden?

This is the fifth of our short series of science fair projects kids will enjoy. Look out for our next post as doing all these experiments as one will probably be the best way of doing a thorough science fair project.
