We're Charged Up About Science!


How does an object react when touched by a charged balloon? That's what we wanted to find out today in science! We started by rubbing balloons on our hair or clothes to charge them, and then tried holding them near or against various objects including paper pieces, glitter, a chair, a classmates hair, and another balloon. Check out some of our results! What did you think of the experiment? Many of you had further investigations you wanted to try at home...did anyone carry out an additional experiment?!? Share your results with us!
