Apologia Physics: Electrostatics

Arrrggh!  I wish we had had the forethought to do electrostatics on a dry, cold, winter day!  Here are the labs we're using: Sticky Tape, Sticky Tape 2, and Electrostatics in Your Home.  The issue is relative humidity.  These tips--especially the hair dryer help.  The real issue is the high relative humidity: Electrostatics and Relative Humidity and Properties of Water.  The guys basically read the labs and then spent two classes using trial and error to play with electrostatics.
