Balloon and Static Electricity

Subject: Physics | Grade: 5 | Time: 15-20 minutes

Understand how static electricity can attract objects by creating electrical charges through friction.

What you need

A balloon
Small paper bits or dry rice
Wool cloth or your hair
A spoon (optional)

How it works

Rubbing the balloon transfers electrons to its surface, creating static electricity. This allows the balloon to attract small objects with an opposite charge.
