An investigation of static electricity.
There isn’t really a place for static electricity in the current Australian Curriculum, but this is a fun activity that younger students will enjoy.
Represent observations in provided templates and identify patterns with guidance
Pose questions to explore observed simple patterns and relationships and make predictions based on experiences
