Atoms are everywhere!?!

Yes, atoms are everywhere! We have been learning about atoms in our discussions of static electricity. We have learned that atoms make up everything and are made up of small particles like protons, electrons, and neutrons. Normally atoms have a neutral charge, or no charge, but when an object experiences friction or even touches another object, an imbalance can occur. Once an object becomes charged, the static will bleed off to the ground or discharge in the form of a static shock! If you want to read more, check out this site. It's a great resource for information and even includes some cool labs you can try at home! If you try one, let me know! I would love to hear all about it.
