This video discusses how to draw charge diagrams for charging by friction, charging by conduction, grounding, polarized insulators and conductors, and charging by induction. I show how to make charge diagrams showing all the positive and negative charges and showing just the net charge.

Electric Charge Behavior (Ground, Conductors and Insulators): youtu.be/FhSsiHoP3G0
This video uses a Van de Graaff generator (static charge generator) to uncover some basic ideas behind the behavior of electric charges. The video shows evidence for what it means to be "grounded" or "ungrounded", and how conductors and insulators have different properties when it comes to the movement of electrons.
Electric Charges and Polarization: youtu.be/DlbRzUf1TrM
In this video I start with a demonstration showing that both a neutral piece of paper and a neutral piece of metal are attracted to a charged object. Next, I demonstrate that metal has a stronger attraction to the charged object than the neutral paper. In the end, I use a simplified way of drawing the electric charges in the objects to explain why neutral objects are attracted to both positively and negatively charged objects and why there is a stronger attraction with metal.
Electric Force Lab (Introduction): youtu.be/-97LOzx1tIc
This is an introduction to the electric force lab. Through video analysis students can determine the relationship between the size of the electric force on two charged objects and the distance between those charged objects. The following video will be used for data collection and is described in detail in this introduction.

What is an Electric Field?: youtu.be/KSbl5oUcbyc
This video introduces the concept of an electric field and compares it to the idea of a gravitational field. The equation to calculate the electric field strength is discussed along with how to find the size of the electric force on a known charge placed in an electric field. The end of the video discusses how to find the net electric field surrounding multiple point charges.
