Additional Learning Tools and Resources

Watching a presentation is a passive activity. Getting information is important ... but its not the destination or end point. Now that you've watched the video, its time to do something with the information you've heard. It's time to act on it. The resources below provide an opportunity to do this. We encourage learners to solidify their learning through the use of one or more of the following resources.
 


Polarization Concept Builder

Concept Builders are great learning tools for developing and refining an understanding of a topic. This Concept Builder has three activities. Any one or all three would be an awesome follow-up to this video.
 


 

Physics Interactives, Static Electricity Chapter, Aluminum Can Polarization

You saw the demonstration. You saw the animation. Now perhaps its time to play with it yourself and experiment with a + and a - tube briought near the pop can. Have phun!
 


 

Physics Interactives, Static Electricity Chapter, Charging Simulation

You can learn a lot by playing. And with this simulation, you can see those + and - charges as you play with charged balloons and conductors. But don't play too long ... you probably have some work to do.
 



Physics Classroom Tutorial, Static Elecricity Chapter

Sometimes you need a written reference to freshen up on what you're learning. And that written reference would be the Tutorial section of our website. The following page will be a helpful complement to this video:
