Electrifyingly fun!

The Grade 10 science students invited the Kindergarten students to participate in another lecture. This time it was on electrostatics, more commonly known as static electricity. Demonstrations included using a Van de Graaff generator and a Tesla coil (both of which generate high voltages). Students could see (and feel!) small lightning bolts, witnessed electricity igniting paper and even observed a light bulb 'light up' when held in Mr. Downey's mouth! Senior and Kindergarten students had a great time discovering the different components of electrostatics. Everyone is eagerly looking forward to the next time the Kindergarten class gets to visit the Senior science department!
