Static Electricity Experiments for Elementary School
Physics, Science, Grade 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, Labs, Experiments, Activities
What is electrostatics, or static electricity? The buildup of electric charge on an object's surface is called static electricity, or electrostatics. This charge, which can be either positive or negative, is produced when a material's atoms acquire or lose electrons. When two objects rub against one another, electrons are transferred from one to the other, creating this static energy. As a result, one of the materials has a negative charge due to an excess of electrons, while the other material has a positive charge due to a lack of electrons. The feeling of a tiny electric shock after stepping on a rug and then contacting a metal surface is a typical example. Ten extremely basic and doable experiments that use or create static electricity are included in this useful e-book. Every experiment is safe and may be carried out using normal, commonplace items. Every experiment has comprehensive, step-by-step instructions. Lastly, each experiment is given a brief explanation so that elementary school pupils can understand it. Have fun exploring the marvels of static electricity through experimentation!

XL Domino – Chemical Elements 1–118 An interactive domino game for exploring element names and symbols 🧪🎲 This printable XL domino game offers a fun and flexible way for students to practice the names and symbols of all 118 chemical elements. Designed for use in grades 7–10, this resource supports both introductory lessons and ongoing review in chemistry class. Whether used in small groups, as a full-class activity, or even spread out along the hallway floor, it encourages active learning and collaboration. Each card features either the name or the symbol of a chemical element. By matching these correctly, students build a long domino chain – all while reinforcing their knowledge of atomic numbers, symbols, and the layout of the periodic table. What’s included: 238 printable domino cards (PDF format) Two complete versions of the game (119 cards each): – Beginner version: element names on both sides – Advanced version: name on one side, symbol on the other Covers all elements from hydrogen (1) to oganesson (118) Tips for setup and gameplay included How I’ve used it: This game works well before introducing the periodic table in depth. It gives students time to get comfortable with element names and symbols in a low-pressure setting. The larger card format makes it ideal for group work or movement-based activities, such as arranging the cards on the floor or in the hallway. Why it works: The visual repetition and active gameplay help students internalize key facts more effectively than passive memorization. Group dynamics also support peer learning – students naturally help each other recall unfamiliar elements. And because it feels like a game, students stay engaged longer and show more willingness to participate. The material is easy to prepare: print, laminate if you like, and cut out the cards. From there, you can adapt it for differentiated learning levels or turn it into a competitive classroom challenge. This is not just a game – it’s a versatile teaching tool that brings the periodic table to life. 📍 Best wishes, Heike from @Lernfitness Did You Know?

Atomic Shell Model Domino – Learning Electron Configurations Through Play 118 cards for learning the periodic table A classroom game to practice atomic structure and element knowledge 🧪🎲 This printable domino game helps students explore the shell model of the atom while getting to know the periodic table in a more hands-on and interactive way. Each card connects an element name to a visual of its electron shell configuration, offering a playful way to reinforce key chemistry concepts. The set includes 119 domino-style cards – covering all 118 known elements. On each card, the element name is on the left and the corresponding shell diagram with its symbol is on the right. Students link them by matching the shell model of one element to the name of the next. It’s a surprisingly effective way to help them recognize patterns in atomic structure, get familiar with chemical symbols, and connect abstract content to something more tangible. What’s included: 119 printable domino cards (PDF) Each card shows: element name → electron shell model with element symbol Print-ready format; laminating optional but recommended Classroom ideas: Use as a full-class activity or in small groups Introduce the game before formal work with the periodic table to build foundational understanding Great for movement-based tasks: spread the cards across tables or even down a hallway Set time challenges: Who can build the longest correct domino chain? For easier levels, use a reduced set (e.g., first 20 elements or just the main groups) In my chemistry classes, students enjoy the game format – especially those who don’t usually connect with abstract models. Working together to build the correct sequence gives them a chance to talk through the structure of atoms and test their understanding in a low-pressure setting. The domino format encourages active learning, peer interaction, and multiple ways to differentiate by level. Whether you use the full set or simplify it for younger learners, it’s a great way to bring more movement and discussion into your science lessons. Just print, cut, and you’re ready to play. 📍 Best wishes, Heike from @Lernfitness Did You Know?

This fun science lesson is a great introduction for a science fair unit or a beginning of the year scientific method unit when you need to teach your students how to carry out a true experiment . It teaches students about independent, dependent and controlled variables using humour and real-life situations. The first page has fill-in-the blank notes about a pretend experiment I completed that had some mistakes in the design. Students should stay engaged and focused throughout the lesson component as they have to fill in the blanks. They should start to think about why controlling variables matters, and they learn the relevant vocabulary. The second page gives students a chance to start brainstorming some basic experimental design ideas on their own or in pairs. They are given three situations and need to think of independent variables they could alter, what dependent variable that would affect, and all of the other variables they would need to carefully control. At the end, there is a quick review to reinforce the relevant vocabulary. Grades to Use With: This lesson can easily work in a variety of grades in the middle years, from grades 4-8 and possibly beyond! Standards: NGSS3-5-ETS1-3 Plan and carry out fair tests in which variables are controlled and failure points are considered to identify aspects of a model or prototype that can be improved.
