Initial Project Idea.

Project Idea: How Well Do Different Materials Create Static Electricity?
S.4 W Class.

Background : When we wear polyester, static cling is a major household issue! But when we wear cotton, which does not get static cling nearly as much. So why are some materials more susceptible to static cling than others? Investigate how well different materials produce static electricity by making a homemade electroscope and testing it out in this physics project.

Make an electroscope to test several objects made out of different materials to see which ones produce, or conduct, the most static electricity.
The things needed can all be found at house which include:
1) plastic or glass jar or cup that are transparent.(must be transparent)
2) aluminium foil small piece is enough.
3) 1 paper clip.
4) cardboard piece small one.
5) a scissor
6) insulative tape or any tape .

Project learning goals include;
1. Identify materials that can produce static electricity.

2. Explain why some materials conduct static electricity than others.

3. Write down a list of safety precautions and record a short video about precautions, and share it with the community sensitizing about materials that should be handled with care to avoid electrical shock and lightening.

3. collaborate and design a gold leaf electroscope.
