What mastery looks like

  • Explains that rubbing transfers electrons from one material to another, creating opposite charges
  • States that like charges repel and unlike charges attract
  • Links the concept of static discharge to the formation of lightning as a large-scale electric spark

Check your understanding

Can Static electricity and sparks explain why a balloon rubbed on hair sticks to the wall, and connect this to the science of how lightning forms during a thunderstorm?
