Sis forStatic (electricity)
Static electricity is a build up of electrical charge on the surface of something. This charge usually builds up when things rub together. You can make a static charge on a balloon by rubbing it on your clothes, and the child in the picture has got a static charge from sliding down a playground slide.
Static electricity discharges when something with the charge touches something else that can accept the charge. It discharges with a zap that can hurt.

Traffic on land can be made up of people on foot, vehicles or even animals. Traffic usually travels along public roads. Different countries and different states within countries have different rules on how traffic should behave on public roads, such as which side of the road to drive on, how fast to travel, and what type of vehicles are allowed on different roads.
A trick might be something special you can do, that entertains other people. The dolphins in the picture are performing tricks.
A trick is also a sneaky way of doing something, by making people think you are doing one thing when in fact you are doing something else. For example, you might trick someone into giving you something by telling them a lie.
