FOLDABLES TM Reading & Study
Skills
Make the following Foldable and use it to take notes on what you learn in Chapter 7.
What You Will Learn
In this chapter, you will
• explain, with illustrations, the transfer of
static charges in various materials
• describe the types of static charges
• state the three laws of static charge
• explain how the amount of charge and
distance of separation affect the force between charges
Why It Is Important
Static electricity is the oldest known form of electricity. All of our modern uses of electricity are based on our understanding of the properties of static charges.
Skills You Will Use
In this chapter, you will
• explain how charged objects interact
• communicate your knowledge of static
charge
• model how static charges are distributed on
the surface of an object
• detect static charge using an electroscope

STEP 3
STEP 4
Make a shutterfold using one sheet of paper.
Fold the shutterfold in half like a wallet. Crease well.
Open the Folable and cut the small, side tabs in half. These cuts will form four doors on the front.
Label the Foldable as shown.
Show You Know
As you read the chapter, take notes under the appropriate tabs
to demonstrate what you have learned about static electricity.
