Lesson 1: Basic Terminology and Concepts

Lesson 1 discusses charge interactions, the distinction between conductors and insulators and polarization. Items in the group's pool include photos of statically charged hair, Wimshurst machines, charged balloons interacting with each other, Leyden jars, and much more. Photos complement many of the discussions from Lesson 1 of the Static Electricity chapter of The Physics Classroom Tutorial.

Lesson 2: Methods of Charging

Lesson 2 discusses the principles associated with the charging of objects and the process of grounding objects.Items in the group's pool include photos of Tesla coils, Wimshurst generators, Van de Graaff generators, electrophorus plates, and much more. Photos complement many of the discussions from Lesson 2 of the Static Electricity chapter of The Physics Classroom Tutorial.

Lesson 3: Electric Force

Lesson 3 discusses the conceptual and mathematical nature of Coulomb's law of force. As of this writing, there are very few photos on the topic. Teachers and students are encouraged to combine their cameras and creative juices to help contribute to the pool.

Lesson 4: Electric Fields

Lesson 4 discusses the concept and mathematics of electric fields. Electric field lines are discussed and illustrated; applications are made to the topic of lightning and lightning discharges. Items in the group's pool include photos of lightning strikes, Tesla coil discharges, lightning rods, and electric and magnetic field lines produced by charges and magnets. Photos complement many of the discussions from Lesson 4 of the Static Electricity chapter of The Physics Classroom Tutorial.
