This is a collection of typical electrostatics lab activities explained by using the ability to animate what is happening with the charges.  The following is a list of available explanations.
..Charging materials by friction
..Charging two different materials using a wool cloth.
..Balloon on Hair
..Attracting & repelling an insulator
..pith ball (Shockwave) Not Local
..pith balls
..paper bits
..Balloon on hair stuck to wall
..Attracting & repelling a conductor
..aluminum covered pith balls
..aluminum can
..Charging an electroscope
..Bringing a charged object near the electroscope
..by contact (conduction)
..Interactive version of bringing near and charging by contact (Shockwave) Not Local
..by induction

Using an electrophorus (creating charge by induction)
