Static Electricity GCSE Physics KS4 (Powerpoints + Worksheets)

I used the resources in this bundle for 3 lessons, covering static electricity.

I’ve included in this bundle the following:

Powerpoints:

1. Intro to electricity
2. Static electricity
3. Dangers of static electricity

1 x question prompt for when students write down notes while watching videos in ‘Dangers of Static Electricity’
2 x worksheets with exam-style questions and mark schemes

Specification points covered:

• Identify common materials which are electrical conductors or insulators, including metals and plastics.
• Explain how positive and negative electrostatic charges are produced on materials by the loss and gain of electrons.
• Know that there are forces of attraction between unlike charges and forces of repulsion between like charges.
• Explain electrostatic phenomena in terms of the movement of electrons.
• Explain the potential dangers of electrostatic charges, e.g. when fuelling aircraft and tankers.

I’ve also linked to some videos that I made which you might find interesting.

Hope you find this bundle useful!
