Activity 2: Simulation Game. Estimated duration: 10 min
Ever wonder why a balloon sticks to your sweater or a wall? Explore the charges in the sweater, balloons, and the wall as you investigate static electricity. Describe and raw models for common static electricity concepts including charge transfer, attraction, and repulsion. Show or hide the charges, and make predictions about behavior of the balloon. Note: Students will automatically move through this simulation after 10 minutes of playtime.
