Science

Static electricity with balloons - Rub a balloon on your head, what happens? It is static electricity!

Balloon fun - Take two balloons and tie a string to each. Charge each balloon and hold them by the string. What happens? The balloons will not come together because they are both negatively charged. What happens when we only charge one balloon? Why do the balloons come together so easily?

Paper and plastic - Rub a sheet of plastic on a piece of paper and try to separate them.
