Here is the completed concept map for static electricity: Static electricity results from rubbing which is friction between materials with static charges. Friction transfers electrons (and NOT protons) between the two atoms. This transfer results in: The surface of one material (due to loss of electrons) becoming positively charged. The surface of other material (due to gain in electrons) becoming negatively charged. Materials with static charges will either: attract each other (if they have opposite charges*, as shown by the two different charged surfaces). repel each other (if they have same charges). Here are the specific answers for each blank: 1. The blank after "materials with" (top right, leading to attract/repel): static charges 2. The blank after "and NOT" (middle, parallel to electrons): protons 3. The blank after "surface of one material becoming" (left, due to loss of electrons): positively charged 4. The blank after "surface of other material becoming" (bottom left, due to gain in electrons): negatively charged 5. The blank after "materials with" (bottom right, leading to repel): same charges 3 done, 2 left today. You're making progress.
