ACTIVITY 1: FACT OR BLUFF

STATEMENT ANSWER
1. The three subatomic particles of Fact
an atom are protons, neutrons,
and electrons.
2. The mass of electron is the Bluff
same with the mass of proton.

3. The mass of neutron is very small Bluff

compared to the mass of electron

4. Proton is electrically neutral. Bluff

5. Electron can transfer from one Fact

atom to another atom.

6. Lightning is an example of Fact

charging by induction.

7. If the charging object for induction Bluff

is positive the charged object will
become positively charged.
8. Rubbing the same object is Bluff
example of charging by rubbing.

9. Electrons are not created nor Fact

destroyed during the charging
process.
10. Materials with high electron Bluff
affinity tend to lose electron
during rubbing.
ACTIVITY 2: CHARGING TIME!
A. Sweater and Balloon
Guide Questions:
1. What method of charging is shown by the pictures above?
- Charging by rubbing
2. Which of the two objects became positively charged?
- Sweater
3. Which of the two objects became negatively charged?
- Balloon
4. What happens in the balloon in step no. 4 in which it was being held
near a wall?
- The balloon loses electrons after it was rubbed with the
sweater thus, it was attracted to the wall with positive charge.

B. Glass Rod and Metal Sphere

Guide Questions:
1. What method of charging is shown by the pictures above?
- Charging by induction
2. What is the charge of the charging body used?
- Negatively charged
3. What is the charge of the object being charged after charging?
- Positively charged
4. What happens in the electrons in step no.2 after putting a ground wire?
- The electrons coming from the metal sphere travel down to the
ground
ACTIVITY 3: GAINING AND LOSING
Two Objects Rubbed on Objects that Gain Objects that Loss
Each Other Electron Electron
1. Paper and Wood Wood Paper
2. Polyethylene and Polyethylene Hair
Hair
3. Wool and Teflon Teflon Wool
4. Acrylic and Glass Acrylic Glass
5. Amber and Silk Amber Silk

Processing Questions:
1. What will be the charge of the object if it loses electron?
- The object will be positively charged
2. What will be the charge of the object if it gains electron?
- The object will be negatively charged
3. What is the role of electron during the process of charging by rubbing?
- The electrons during this process is transferred from one
object to another.

ACTIVITY 4: HOMEMADE ELECTROSCOPE

Guide Question:
a. What happens in the two aluminum sheets when you put the balloon near the
copper coils?
- The two aluminum sheets moved away from each other
Move the balloon away. Observe what happens.
Guide Question:
b. What happens when you move the balloon away? Explain your answer.
- The two aluminum sheets go back to their original position.
Repeat step 8-10 with PVC pipe or any other materials you would like to test.
Processing Questions:
a. Why did we use aluminum foil and copper wire inside the jar not plastic?
- Because they are a good conductor of electricity.
b. How can you make the two aluminum sheets permanently repel each other after
removing the charged object?
- By touching the coil of copper wire well the charged object is placed near it.
c. Why do aluminum sheets repel each other?
- Because they have opposite charges when the charged object is placed the
copper coil.

3. DON’T
4. DO
5. DON’T
6. DO
7. DO
8. DO
9. DO
10. DON’T

REFLECTION
QUESTIONS
1. What are the three significant
concepts that you learn in this
module?
2. What are the difficulties that you
encounter in answering the
activities in this module? If none
just write the word NONE.
3. What are the questions that you
want to ask to your teacher?
ANSWERS
In this learning sheet i have learned
how the dangerous phenomena which
is lightning is produced. It is because
the atmosphere is full of eletric charges
that causes sparks and eventually
lightning. There are two methods of
charging a matter which are charging by
rubbing or friction and charging by
induction. I also have learned some
safety practices to avoid being struck by
a lightning.
I can’t completely understand how
charging by induction works.
What are the examples of charging by
induction and charging by rubbing other
than the examples given in the module?
