Facts on batteries, circuits, conductors and insulators, electric animals, generating electricity, lightning, neon lights, and static electricity!

he science of static electricity and friction makes this matchstick rotate.

Static electricity and non-Newtonian fluids combine for an amazing hands-on science project

Static electricity is fun to play with – unless it’s a ten million-volt lightning strike!

Using a little static electricity and some practice, you’ll cause objects to float in midair.

What makes your hair stand on end? Why does your skirt stick your tights? Why do you get zapped by electric shocks when you go to touch a doorknob?

The boys came home with balloons from the donut shop so we used them to learn about static electricity.

Electrical Engineer Paul Hines answers our questions, in part one of our live call-in program.

Use balloons to make an electroscope and witness the effect of static charges before your very eyes!

Do you have the magic touch? Watch as your finger mysteriously moves a pencil without touching it.
