Can a balloon move paper without even touching it? Our Early Years 2 scientists tackled this electrifying mystery through a mind-blowing static electricity experiment!
After sharing their boldest predictions, students rubbed balloons against hair, friends’ locks, and clothing before hovering them over tiny paper scraps. Gasps and cheers filled the room as the tissue magically leaped upward toward the balloons! Budding researchers experimented with different rubbing techniques, compared their findings, and uncovered the invisible power of static charge.
By predicting, testing, and observing cause and effect, EY2 turned simple friction into an unforgettable lesson in scientific curiosity and wonder!
