Little lightning can be made by creating static electricity. This is when you have an unbalanced charge on the surface or inside an object. The static charge will stay until you discharge it with a little lightning bolt. Little lightning will give you a static shock similar to what you get from touching a shopping trolley.
In this workshop well be working in small groups and using sticky tape, scissors, polystyrene and an aluminium foil dish to make a simple contraption that can deliver a little lightning shock. When groups have done this successfully, and if circumstances allow, we might also try capturing the lightning on film in the dark.
