In this experiment we'll create an object called a electrophorus. Using the materials listed above, we'll charge the object and then discharge it creating a snap, a little electrical shock, and a bright spark. If you're afraid of a little electrical shock then get Dad to discharge the object for you. And for grins, don't tell Dad beforehand about the resulting spark and shock. After all the amateur garage projects Dad has worked on, he's bound to be used to electrical shocks by now...
