For: AQA GCSE 8463, Edexcel GCSE 1PH0, OCR GCSE J249

Board	Spec	Statement
AQA GCSE 8463	4.2.5.1	Static charge
Edexcel GCSE 1PH0	11.4P	Explain common electrostatic phenomena in terms of movement of electrons, including a shocks from everyday objects b lightning c attraction by induction such as a charged balloon attracted to a wall and a charged comb picking up small pieces of paper
Edexcel GCSE 1PH0	11.5P	Explain how earthing removes excess charge by movement of electrons
Edexcel GCSE 1PH0	11.6P	Explain some of the uses of electrostatic charges in everyday situations, including insecticide sprayers
Edexcel GCSE 1PH0	11.7P	Describe some of the dangers of sparking in everyday situations, including fuelling cars, and explain the use of earthing to prevent dangerous build-up of charge
OCR GCSE J249	P3.1a	Describe that charge is a property of all matter and that there are positive and negative charges
OCR GCSE J249	P3.1b	Describe the production of static electricity, and sparking, by rubbing surfaces, and evidence that charged objects exert forces of attraction or repulsion on one another when not in contact
OCR GCSE J249	P3.1c	Explain how transfer of electrons between objects can explain the phenomena of static electricity

For teachers

This GCSE Physics lesson teaches sparking, earthing, and the uses and dangers of static. It suits Foundation and Higher tier students.
