Science Fair Projects Kids Will Enjoy Part Five – Static Electricity

Science Fair Projects Kids Will Enjoy Part Five – Static Electricity

24 Hour Science Projects

24 Hour Science Projects

Here is part five 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 “push” each other away. Opposite to a negative and positive drawing each other.

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 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.

Here is the next project in our series of science fair projects kids will enjoy. In this project kids will see why the effect of static electricity takes of in humid conditions. Here we are going to use a plastic spoon to “bend” a very thin stream of water.

The case of the water “bend!”

What you will need for this experiment:

  • A plastic spoon
  • A wooly sweater
  • Access to a reliable tap where you can turn it on to make a really small little stream of water

How to do this project:

  1. Rub the spoon against the wooly sweater for a few minutes
  2. Open the tap so it makes the smallest stream possible
  3. Bring the spoon close to the water stream
  4. What happens?
  5. Why do you think it happens?
  6. Read the explanation about static electricity in the first of this series on static electricity.

At first the electrically laden plastic spoon draws the water. Should the spoon touch the water, the experiment is over as water is a good conductor of electricity and will immediately draw the electricity from the spoon and the spoon will not be charged any more. Therefore it will stop “bending” the water. This is why experiments on static electricity works better on dry days than on days that are very humid.

This is the fourth 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.

Here is the next project in our series of science fair projects kids will enjoy. This is one of our really fun science fair projects kids will love to do. We are going to make a dancing paper snake!

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!

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 snake

What you need for this experiment:

  • A piece of tissue paper about 4 inches by 4 inches
  • A pair of scissors
  • A pen
  • A wooly sweater
  • A lid of a tin, big enough for your snake to fit on

How to do this experiment:

  1. Cut a spiral formed “snake” our of the tissue paper
  2. Place it on your lid
  3. Bend the head of your “snake” so it is upward
  4. Rub your pen on the wooly sweater for a few minutes
  5. Hold it an inch or so above the snake
  6. What happens?
  7. Why do you think it happens?
  8. Try and explain it after reading the explanation in the first experiment in this series on this blog
  9. Why do you think we placed it on the tine lid?
  10. Does it play any role in the “snake dance?”

The clue here is that when you hold the electrically charged pen close to the snake which is uncharged it is drawn to the pen and lifts up toward the pen. The moment the electrons pass to the snake, the tin lid absorbs it and the snake is once again uncharged. That is why it keeps on lifting again and again.

This is the third 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.
