					  electrons					 
					
					 Negative particles in an atom that are used to produce electricity 
					 | 
				
				
						
					 
					  atom					 
					
					 The simplest form of matter made up of protons, electrons, and neutrons 
					 | 
				
				
						
					 
					  friction					 
					
					 The transfer of electrons through rubbing objects 
					 | 
				
				
						
					 
					  metal/ lightning rod on top of roof; metal wire connected to rod going down the side of the house/ building, metal/ grounding rod connecting wire to the ground					 
					
					 Draw a picture describing the process of "grounding" 
					 | 
						
| 
						
					 
					  static electricity					 
					
					 A charge imbalance that results in an accumulation of excess electric charge 
					 | 
				
				
						
					 
					  electric field					 
					
					 An area surrounding charged particles within which a force can be exerted on other charged particles 
					 | 
				
				
						
					 
					  induction/ polarization					 
					
					 The transfer of electrons over an electric field working at a distance 
					 | 
				
				
						
					 
					  Moving clouds create a build up of static electricity.  Charge becomes so great it induces a positive charge on ground.  Attraction eventually becomes so strong e- travel to earth (in the bolt) to neutralize.					 
					
					 In 3 bullet points OR a picture, briefly explain how lightning is created

					  electroscope					 
					
					 Device that detects electric charge 
					 | 
				
				
						
					 
					  insulators					 
					
					 materials that block the flow of electrons 
					 | 
				
				
						
					 
					  conduction					 
					
					 The transfer of electrons through direct contact where both materials are conductors 
					 | 
						|
| 
						
					 
					  conductors					 
					
					 Materials that allow electrons to flow easily are... 
					 | 
				
				
						
					 
					  static discharge					 
					
					 the sudden flow of electric charge between two charged objects, due to a build up of static electricity 
					 | 
				
				
						
					 
					  opposites attract, likes repel, law of conservation of charge					 
					
					 What are the 3 rules of charge? 
					 | 
						|
| 
						
					 
					  matter					 
					
					 Anything that has mass and takes up space 
					 | 
				
				
						
					 
					  grounding					 
					
					 the process of removing excess charge on an object by transferring e- to another object to neutralize the electrical imbalance.
