This website offers more than 20 lecture demonstrations designed to help students discover laws of electrostatics.  Demos include electroscopes, a simple electrophorus, a "dissectible" capicitor, spark ignition, triboelectric charging, charge dissipation, and an inexpensive moving charge sensor.  The author focuses on materials and tools common to manufacturing to establish a connection between basic principles and practical applications.
