  • A spark of static electricity can measure thousands of volts, but has very little current and only lasts for a short period of time. This means it has little power or energy.
  • Lightning is a powerful and dangerous example of static electricity.
  • As dangerous as lightning is, around 70% of people struck by lightning survive.
  • Temperatures in a lightning bolt can hit 50,000 degrees F.
  • Static electricity will build up faster on a dry non-humid day.

Electricity Unit – Current and Static

Class starter – A minds-on fun science video to get them focused and thinking science –  Amazing Energy Facts .  What I do and find effective, is while they are watching the video, I ask them to write down anything that really stands out to them. If needed, I will show it again. Once the video is done, we discuss what they found interesting.

– I followed my discussion with a quick introduction on my  Electricity Unit. Click here to have a look at what I’ll be covering.

Electricity Unit 1

– We then started  Lesson 1 – Electricity and Current

L 1 Electricity 1

–  Homework:  No homework

Class starter – A minds-on fun science video to get them focused and thinking science –  Why Do Paper Cuts Hurt So Much?  

– We then completed  Lesson 1 – Electricity and Current

–  Homework:  Two items.

1) To ensure my class comprehends Lesson 1 before we move onto the more difficult circuit diagrams, I will give them a quiz next day on the lesson.

2) The last slide of the lesson asks the students to find 3 particular items around their home, write the name of the item down and bring it to class next day for discussion.

We started today’s class with a quiz on lesson 1.

– We then completed  Lesson 2 – Solving Circuit Diagrams

static electricity homework

–  Homework:  No homework for tonight.

Today I started by giving out Electricity Production Summative Assignment  In it, students work in groups to research a certain electricity production system (nuclear, fossil fuels, solar, etc.) and showcase it via a presentation. 

After I gave out the project we spent our time building circuits and solving circuit diagrams. Both worksheets can be found in Lesson 2 – Solving Circuit Diagrams .   

–  Homework:  Students were to finish solving their circuit diagram questions and start thinking about their  Electricity Production Summative Assignment .

Today was all about the Lab Stations. Over the last while, I’ve been putting together these lab station activities to create more engagement for my students. They move from one station to another for the entire period and they love it. Today’s Lab Station Activity was on Current Electricity and Circuit Diagrams .

Circuits 1

–  Homework:  Students should be working on their  Electricity Production Summative Assignment .

Class starter – A minds-on fun science video to get them focused and thinking science –  Can we have star wars lightsabers in real life?  

– We then completed  Lesson 3 – Resistance

L 4 Electricity 1

–  Homework:   Ohm’s Law Worksheet

Class starter – A minds-on fun science video to get them focused and thinking science –  What is a GMO – Jimmy Kimmel Live

– Today we were working on more complicated circuit diagrams. The PowerPoint can be downloaded by clicking here –>  Solving Electrical Circuits .

–  Homework:  Finish the  Solving Electrical Circuits .

Class starter – A minds-on fun science video to get them focused and thinking science –  Science STYLE Cover – Taylor Swift Acapella Parody

– Today we started by reviewing the solving Circuit Diagram PowerPoint from yesterday –>  Solving Electrical Circuits .

–  We then moved into Lesson 5 – Power, Electrical Energy and Efficiency .

L 3 Electricity 1

–  Homework:  Finish their  Electricity Production Summative Assignment .

– No Video today as we started with a quiz on Lessons 1, 2, 3 and 5

–  We then moved into Lesson 6 – Electrical Safety in the Home

L 7 Safety 1

–  Homework:  

Human Response to Electric Shock Worksheet

Home Electricity Worksheet

Finish their  Electricity Production Summative Assignment .

Class starter – A minds-on fun science video to get them focused and thinking science –  ASAP Science Wars .

Today was presentation day 1 for their  Electricity Production Summative Assignment .

I never let them present for the entire period because I feel the audience loses interest and therefore, doesn’t take in as much as they would otherwise. To combat this, I started on Lesson 8 – Static Electricity .

L 8 static 1

Today was similar to yesterday although today I didn’t do a class starter video as I wanted to jump right into the  Electricity Production Presentations and complete a little more of  Lesson 8 – Static Electricity .

As I did yesterday, I allowed for 3 presentations and then jumped into the lesson. 

Today was all about the Lab Stations. Over the last while, I’ve been putting together these lab station activities to create more engagement for my students. They move from one station to another for the entire period and they love it. Today’s Lab Station Activity was on Static Electricity. CLICK HERE for more details.

  11. Science: Static Electricity

    Static Electricity. Static electricity is the build up of an electrical charge on the surface of an object. It's called "static" because the charges remain in one area rather than moving or "flowing" to another area. We see static electricity every day. It can even build up on us.

  12. What Is Static Electricity?

    Updated: 20th January 2023. Static electricity is generated when two or more objects are rubbed together. A balloon rubbed on someone's head, causes electrons to move and give a charge.
