Grade 5 Standard 4 Performance Test 1 Static Electricity Title: Charging Cheerios Activity Description Students will build and test a homemade electroscope. Prior to Assessment Students need to know that an electric charge can be positive or negative and that an electric charge can move. Like charges repel and unlike charges attract. When the parts of an electroscope (Cheerios in this case) move apart, they are charged. You cannot tell whether the charge is negative or positive. When they move together, the charge has been removed. If they move even further apart, the charge has been increased. Materials: Science Log Sheet (see the following pages) For each group of 2 to 3 students: Inside bag # wire clothes hanger Cotton thread Wool ruler Silk scissors Polyester two Cheerios Fur comb (plastic, any size) Balloon Time Needed: Allow 20 to 30 minutes for this activity.

Make a connection that will light the light bulb. Then take each item and test it to see if the connection will light the bulb through the item. Mark conductor if it will allow the light bulb to light, mark insulator if it will not allow the light bulb to light. Compare with your prediction sheet.
