The hypothesis is that static electricity can be used to create sparks.

You will remove the pen cartridge from a BIC pen, push a thumbtack through a pie pan, coat the thumbtack point with hot glue, and press the bottom of the pen body onto the thumbtack. You will then rub a styrofoam plate with a wool rag for about 45 seconds, place the pie pan on top of the plate, and quickly touch the pie pan with your finger.

You will need pliers, a BIC pen, a thumbtack, a pie pan, a styrofoam plate, and hot glue.

After completing the experiment, you will have created an object that can generate sparks with static electricity. It's a fun and unique way to explore the power of electricity!

This science project is so interesting and unique because it allows you to explore the power of electricity in a fun and creative way.

Experiment variations to consider include using a pencil instead of a BIC pen and using Dad as the discharge object.
