Overview

The goal of this lesson is mainly to get students re-familiarized with basic electrostatics. They will watch a short video to help them recall the parts of an atom and basic subatomic particle behavior. They need to come away with the understanding that electrons are very small (relative to protons and neutrons), negatively charged, and on the "outside" of an atom.
