This site contains an activity on electrostatics. A styrofoam plate is rubbed with wool to give it a large electric charge that can be transferred to an aluminum pie pan. This electrophorus, or change carrier produces...

This site, from UCLA's Department of Physics, contains web and in-class demonstrations of physics concepts in the topic areas of mechanics, harmonic motion and waves, electricity and magnetism, acoustics, optics, matter...

This site from the Exploratorium provides an activity in static electricity. Everyday materials – a Plexiglas™ sheet, a piece of wool cloth, and puffed rice – are used to show the effect of electrical forces between...

This activity from the Exploratorium provides instructions to build an electroscope, a device that detects electrical charge. Common, inexpensive materials including film canisters, 3-M Scotch Magic™ Tape, and a plastic...

This website offers 15 lecture demonstrations designed to help students discover laws of electrostatics. Items range from capicitance to an inexpensive moving charge sensor. The author focuses on materials and tools...
