5A 10.10 - Glass and Plastic Rods with Silk and Fur
	Demonstrates: Electrostatics. Description: Rubbing the rod with silk or fur charges the rod which then attracts the rod on the stand.

5A 10.20 - Electrophorus
	Demonstrates: Charge transfer and storage. Description: A charge can be created by hand and stored for later use.

5A 20.10 - Spin Electroscope
	Demonstrates: Electric fields. Description: Charging the electroscope will cause it to spin. This is accomplished by use of the Van deGraaf generator.

5A 20.20 - Pith Ball Electroscope
	Demonstrates: Positive and negative charges. Description: Charge is transferred to the balls which then repel each other.

5A 20.30 - Suspended Copper Rod
	Demonstrates: Electrostatics. Description: The copper rod is attracted by the glass rod and repelled by the plastic rod.

5A 22.20 - Projected Electroscope
	Demonstrates: Electrostatics. Description: Foil leaf in electroscope is deflected when a charge is put on the top sphere.

5A 40.10 - Charge Transfer Spheres
	Demonstrates: Charge transference. Description: A charge can be transferred to these hollow spheres.

5A 40.20 - Braun Electroscope
	Demonstrates: Charge detection. Description: Vane is deflected by a charge.

5A 40.40 - Hollow Globe
	Demonstrates: Faraday's Ice Pail experiment showing elctrostatic charge only resides on the outside of a conductor. Description: Sphere is charged then you can measure the charges inside and out.

5A 40.50 - Electrostatic Wind Test
	Demonstrates: Interaction of electric charges that are at rest. Description: An electron "wind" causes a flame to be deflected when the generator is on.

5A 40.60 - Charge Balance
	Demonstrates: Attraction and repulsion of charge. Description: The charged rod is either attracted or repulsed and an imbalance occurs.

5A 40.70 - Charge Chimes
	Demonstrates: Conduction of a charge. Description: One bell hangs from a chain while the other hangs by monofilament. When charge is applied the bell rings.

5A 40.80 - Charged Can 'O Worms
	Demonstrates: Transfer of charge. Description: A charge can be transferred to the cans and then detected by an electroscope.

5A 50.30 - Van de Graaff Generator
	Demonstrates: Positive and negative charges. Description: The generator top becomes charged which can be transferred to another object.
