M3B is currently studying an electricity unit. Mr Peters demonstrated the workings of the #VanDerGraaf generator and there were several brave volunteers who tried it out!! #SomersfieldAcademy #HairRaisingScience #IB #M3 #MYP

#HairRaisingScience M3G students explored static electricity with a #VanDeGraaffGenerator—but do you know how it works? 🤔 It pulls electrons from the Earth, stores them on the sphere & spreads them out until they find a way back to the ground!
