Static Electricity

Static means to stay still. 
What are the 3 particles that make up everything ? Which ones are positive and negative?
Protons, Neutron and Electrons are the three particles that make up everything. Electrons are negative and Protons are positive. 

Objects want to be  "electricity neutral" What does this mean? 
Because they want to be balanced and the positive and negative electricity go together . They want the same positives and negative charges. If you have too many electrons it will not be neutral. 

When you rub two insulators you can get a static shock, so what is an insulator and a conductor?
An insulator doesn't usually pass on energy its self. It passes the electrons onto you. It has built up electrons. 
The electrons are being passed. Everything wants to be neutral. if they had too many negatives you will get a shock because they want the same number of protons and electrons.

What is an example of Static electricity?
A trampoline is an example of Static electricity because all the electrons are building up and are being passed onto you because they are not neutral. They have too many electrons are are trying to get rid of the extra electrons.
