Electrical current is the flow of electrons.
"Static electricity" is more accurately called "static charge". It refers to the build up of a surplus of free electrons on a body (negative charge) , or the withdrawl of free electrons (positive charge). As the word "static" means, these charges are not moving, but are held stationary on the body.
The measure of charge is the coulomb, which is 1.24 x 1018 electrons.
If a charge is moving along a conductor, always from negative to positive, this flow of electrons is referred to as "current". The basic unit of current, is the amp. 1 amp is charge flowing at the rate of 1 coulomb per second.

Static electricity is a noun phrase consisting of an adjective ("static") and a noun ("electricity").
Water can conduct electricity, so it can help static electricity to dissipate or discharge. If there is a buildup of static electricity on a surface, water can provide a path for the excess charge to flow away, reducing the effects of static electricity.
yes
Static electricity does not require tin cans specifically. Tin cans can be used in certain experiments to demonstrate the principles of static electricity, but they are not a necessity for static electricity to occur. Static electricity can be generated through friction between two materials, such as rubbing a balloon on your hair.

Static electricity constitutes of charges that are static i.e. they do not move.
Easy static electricity
You can move things with static electricity!
Static electricity is a noun phrase consisting of an adjective ("static") and a noun ("electricity").
Static electricity translates into electrons not in motion. Typically, you rub rubber on fur to get static electricity. I get static electricity from petting my cat (I am a rubber of my cat, but I am not made of rubber.)
Becuase static electricity is generated by rubbing or by friction.
Charges cause static electricity by charges
static electricity occurs when objects gain electrons
Static electricity DOES have an electric charge.
