Don't Let Static Stop You!

Students had a shocking discovery today! We've learned about static electricity, but in order to review we participated in a few more experiments. We all blew up our own balloons and explored different objects and their relationship with the balloon. Using our hair we made our balloon have a negative charge. When it was placed near water, soda cans, paper dots made with the hole puncher, and sugar we recorded what happened in our journals!

Here are a few snapshots and a video to show what happened!

I hope everyone enjoyed their Tuesday!
