Transcript: Static Electricity Experiment
Teacher Aldo stands in the lab.
Teacher Aldo is in his thirties, with short curly black hair and a shadow of a goatee. He wears glasses and a blue Homework Zone T-shirt.
He says HI I'M TEACHER
ALDO
WELCOME TO
THE HOMEWORK ZONE.
TODAY I HAVE A
FUN EXPERIMENT
THAT YOU CAN TRY
AT HOME TO
DEMONSTRATE
STATIC ELECTRICITY.
YOU'RE GONNA NEED
THREE THINGS:
A BALLOON, A
WOOL CLOTHING ITEM
AND AN EMPTY
POP CAN.
FILL UP YOUR
BALLOON WITH AIR BY
BLOWING IT UP AND
THEN TAKE THE
BALLOON AND
START RUBBING IT
ON YOUR PIECE OF
CLOTHING.
AS YOU RUB
ALONG ONTO THE WOOL
PIECE OF CLOTHING
YOU'RE GONNA
NOTICE THAT
THERE'S A BIT
OF STICKY ACTION
HAPPENING HERE.
WHAT'S GOING ON
IS THAT THERE'S
A TRANSFER OF
ELECTRONS FROM THE
WOOL TO THE BALLOON
MAKING IT
NEGATIVELY
CHARGED AND WATCH
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN
YOU BRING THE
BALLOON
TO THE CAN.
As he moves the balloon from side to side, the can rolls towards it.
He says CAN MOVES, AND
IT'S MOVING
BECAUSE IT'S
ATTRACTED TO
THE BALLOON.
WATCH AGAIN.
THAT'S STATIC
ELECTRICITY
AND NOW
YOU KNOW.
