Static electricity, also called electrostatics, happens when electric charge builds up on the surface of an object. This charge can be positive or negative. It forms when atoms in a material gain or lose electrons.

When two objects rub against each other, electrons move from one to the other. One object ends up with extra electrons and a negative charge. The other loses electrons and gets a positive charge.

You often feel static electricity when you walk across a carpet and touch a metal object. That tiny shock you feel is static electricity at work!

This helpful e-book includes ten easy experiments that show how static electricity works. You can do all of them safely at home or in the classroom. They only need simple, everyday items.

Each experiment has clear, step-by-step instructions. There is also a short explanation after each one, so young students can easily understand what’s happening.

Have fun exploring the amazing world of static electricity!

This resource is a science driven, easy to use pack to use when investigating all things pumpkin! Pumpkinology is a great way to incorporate kindergarten science standards in a fun, fall themed way.

Cut off the top of a pumpkin and let them scoop out the insides to count seeds, estimate how many counting cubes tall is a pumpkin, how many paperclips will it take to fit around the pumpkin? Will the pumpkin sink or float? What is the life cycle of a pumpkin? Color or use tissue paper to produce a tear art version to create their very own pumpkin.

I use this resource in my classroom on October 31st as part of our fall party! We investigate all things pumpkin and the grand finale is when we carve a face on the pumpkin, add in baking soda, vinegar and green food coloring to make the pumpkin explode (outside of course)! This is a day your students will remember for years to come!

Teachers can use it as a:

• Halloween party and make each investigation a station
• Week long investigation of pumpkin attributes
• Science project to let little learners estimate what they think will happen
• Fall fun pack
• Lesson on the life cycle of a pumpkin

Happy pumpkin investigating!
