Activity 1: Simulation Game. Estimated duration: 10 min

Balloons and Static Electricity

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.

Activity 2: Instructional Game. Estimated duration: 25 min

Arbitrium

You are a charged particle. As a charged particle, you are trying to meet the wires with a positive or negative charge. You must be the opposite charge to meet the wire and advance to the next level. Change yourself by bumping into other charged particles and transferring charges. There are obstacles to pass like pressing buttons, opening walls, and changing charges to complete a level.
