Electrostatic Demonstrations with the Fun Fly Stick Mini Van de Graaff Generator

Playing with the Fun-Fly-Stick Science Kit is a great way to gain a deep understanding of static electricity while providing a much more portable version of the well known Van De Graaff generator. Large Van De Graaff generators are often used in museums and classrooms as a fun demo tool to make your hair stand on end. Van De Graaff generators of all sizes produce electric fields which are strong enough to be measured, manipulated, felt directly, and played with. These features make the Van De Graaff generator ideal for helping students grasp the concept of static electricity at a fundamental level. Now you can provide numerous demonstrations of these same static electricity principles right in your classroom in a much more portable and cost-effective manner. In fact, set-up is a breeze with the Fun-Fly-Stick science kit and it's portability allows you to experiment in ways that aren't practical with a full size Van De Graaff generator.
