P5-7 Science – “Electrostatics” -video link lesson
Primary 5-7 had their final Science lesson via video link with Heather Reid, the former weather reporter.
Today they had a series of experiments to investigate how electrostatic charges are produced and a demonstration and discussion on the force of gravity.
The children were able to investigate how an electrostatic force can make objects move without touching them. They learned how an electrostatic force occurs when there is an imbalance between negative and positive charges in an object, and how rubbing some objects can cause negative charges to be transferred.
It was a fun, active science session.
This series of Science lessons will be concluded with a whole school trip up to Glasgow Science sentre, in a few weeks time.
Looks like everyone is having fun learning about ‘electrostatics”
