{"product_id":"electrostatic-rod-acrylic-12-x-300-mm","title":"Electrostatic Rod - Acrylic, 12 x 300 mm","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Acrylic Electrostatic Rod is a classic tool for demonstrating static electricity and the transfer of charge. Measuring 12mm in diameter and 300mm in length, this transparent rod is ideal for generating and investigating electrostatic phenomena when rubbed with a suitable cloth, such as rabbit fur. The rod builds up charge through friction, allowing students to explore fundamental physics concepts including attraction, repulsion, and charge induction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts rigid, lightweight design makes it easy for students to handle during individual or group demonstrations. Suitable for physics and general science classes, the acrylic rod is a must-have for hands-on learning about electric forces and energy transfer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEducational Benefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDemonstrates the principles of static electricity and electric charge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports understanding of friction, polarity, and electric fields.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePromotes inquiry-based learning through active experimentation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReinforces foundational physics concepts in an engaging format.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e¢ Classroom Ideas:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePair with an electrostatic cloth to explore charge generation by friction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse to attract small paper pieces, foil, or balloons to show electrostatic force.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDemonstrate repulsion and attraction between charged objects.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrate into lessons on atoms, electrons, and charge movement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e¢ Specifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Acrylic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 12mm diameter x 300mm length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse with electrostatic cloth for charge generation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransparent and lightweight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnit: Each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Modern Teaching Aids NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42238383456369,"sku":"SER1140001","price":9.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/7633\/6753\/files\/ser1140001_electrostatic-rod-acrylic-12x300mm.webp?v=1768792186","url":"https:\/\/teaching.co.nz\/products\/electrostatic-rod-acrylic-12-x-300-mm","provider":"Modern Teaching Aids NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
