    Build an electrophorus, explain how it works and charge with it a homemade electroscope. R R R R R R R R R
    Build an electroscope and demonstrate the existence of two kinds of charges (positive and negative). R R R R
    Build an electroscope and classify materials according to electrical conductivity (insulators and conductors). R R R
    Build an electroscope and compare electron affinities of different materials (triboelectric series). R R R R R
    Test what distance different electroscopes can sense an electrical charge and what factors affect it. R R
    Build an electronic electroscope (charge detector) and compare its sensibility to a conventional one. R R
    Will the more charge gained through more comb strokes, the further away it will be detected and will a longer antenna increase the detector's sensitivity? R
