We have been studying Force in science class. Students have identified contact (applied force; e.g. push/pull and friction) and non-contact forces (gravity, magnetism and static electricity).
Today in class we were experimenting specifically with the non-contact force of static electricity.
Here is a small video were we used static electricity to attract a small stream of water towards the balloon.
We also played around with creating enough static build up to have the balloon “stick” to the wall.
If you have a balloon at home perhaps you can continue to play/experiment with this concept. Here is a link to a video we watched in class as well.
Have a great long weekend!
