- Lesson Plan →Objectives, pacing and practice, built from this lesson's brief.
- Guided Notes →One page your students fill in and keep.
- Exit Ticket →Three items at the end of class. No student accounts.
- Re-teach →After an exit ticket: who missed what, and what to do tomorrow.
- Homework →Assign practice; it grades itself.
"Electric charge is a physical property of particles or objects that causes them to attract or repel each other. Charge is denoted by the symbol q. There are two types of charge: positive and negative."
"The law of conservation of charge states that the total charge in an isolated system is constant. Charge is never created or destroyed; it only moves from place to place."

What you'll learn
- Describe the two types of electric charge and explain how like and unlike charges interact
- State the law of conservation of charge and apply it to charging scenarios
- Distinguish between conductors and insulators and explain the role of free electrons
- Explain the three methods of charging — friction, conduction, and induction — and identify which applies in given scenarios
- Describe the structure of the atom in terms of its charged components and explain why most matter is electrically neutral
