What You Can Teach with the Plasma Globe
Ideal for upper elementary, middle school, and high school science classes:
- Plasma—the fourth state of matter: Observing ionized gases conducting electricity
- Electric potential differences: How large voltage differences create electrical discharges
- Lightning & electrical discharges: Comparing cloud-to-ground lightning to plasma behavior
- Atomic structure & energy levels: Electron excitation and emission of light
- Attraction of charged particles: Interactions between charged plasma and neutral objects
- Conductors vs. insulators: Exploring how different materials affect plasma paths
Students can investigate how plasma responds to various conductors and insulators, compare behavior to charged balloons and neutral objects, and even test whether magnets influence the plasma streams. With its mix of safety, interactivity, and striking visuals, the 8" Plasma Globe turns complex electrical and atomic science into an experience students can see, touch, and remember.
