A static webpage is one that does not change programatically. That is, everytime you view the page it is the same. If you want to change it, you have to edit the page yourself.
A dynamic webpage changes based on programs built into the page itself (javascript, php, etc) or programs running on the server.
Typically, data is stored in a database of some sort of database and the user requests the page and the program creates the webpage at request time with the data in the database.
For instance, I have a program that 2x a day goes out and finds the number of open runs at various ski hills. The program then updates a database with the current number of open runs. When a user requests the open ski runs page a program runs and looks at the database to find the number of open runs. That is a dynamic web-page.
While one can say adding snazzy graphics and animations is dynamic it is only so in a very narrow sense.

A static web page is your regular Joe's home site. A dynamic page, on the other hand, is interactive, meaning that it can change in response to different contexts or conditions. For example, the page you're looking at right now is a dynamic web page.

A static web page is a web page that only has content. Maybe some graphics & a text block but not much more than that. It's not interactive, there are no animated flash navigation bars or anything like that. Whereas a dynamic web page may have flash animations, flash buttons, flash navigation bars. It's more "interactive."
If it is a page with images & text there isn't much interactivity. If your only option on a web page is to read it, it's most likely a static page.
