B. remain as it was
C. become positively charged
D. become negatively charged

______9. A type of charging process where an object can be charged without actual contact to any other
object.
A. Charging by induction C. Charging by friction
B. Charging by reduction D. Charging by conduction

______10. A charged iron rod is brought near a metal ball that is mounted on a rubber sheet. If the metal ball
acquired a negative charge after it was grounded momentarily, what must be the charged of the
iron rod?

A. Negative
B. Neutral
C. Positive
D. Uncertain
______11. If an element has 6 protons, 7 neutrons, and 6 electrons, what is the charge of the element?

PERFORMANCE TASK NO. 6:

Let's learn how to build a homemade electroscope – a device that can detect electrical charges.

Materials:
 Clear glass jar
 Jar lid or piece of plastic large enough to cover the opening of the jar
 Electrical tape
 Copper wire, 14g or thicker
 Straw
 Scissors
 Glue gun
 Aluminum foil
 Wool cloth
 Comb
 Balloon
 Any other material you want to test!

Procedure:

1. Perform this experiment on a dry day! The experiment might not work if it is humid or raining.
Why do you think this is important?
2. Use the scissors to cut a two-inch long piece of straw.
3. Have an adult punch a hole through the center of the jar lid or piece of plastic big enough to fit the
straw through.
4. Insert the straw into the hole of your lid. Glue the straw securely to the lid.
5. Cut a 10-inch piece of copper wire.
6. Twist the 4 inches top end of the wire into a circle or spiral to increase the surface area.
7. Insert the straight end of the wire through the straw and create a hook about 1 inch long.
8. Hang two small pieces of aluminum foil on the hook. Make sure they are in contact. Why do you think
you’re using two pieces of metal instead of one?
9. Place the hooked end of the wire into the jar and twist on or tape the lid to the jar.
10.Rub each of your materials (balloon, comb, etc.) vigorously one at a time with your hand or in a
piece of wool cloth.
11.After you charged the objects, bring each object near the coiled wire on your electroscope. Be sure
to record and explain your observations!
12.Present your output to your teacher. ( NOTE: Please attach picture of your own output on the
space provided)
The rubric below will be the basis in grading your electroscope
