Static Electricity

This week in Science we learned about static electricity. We all had a go at rubbing balloons on our heads and jumpers to build up the static electricity.
We were able to make our hair stand up and pick up little pieces of paper. We also investigated if more rubs on a balloon would mean we could pick up more Rice Krispies. And it turned out we could! With two rubs we couldn't pick up any, but we were able to pick up over 20 Rice Krispies when we had rubbed our balloon 10 times. We recorded our findings on bar charts and the results were very interesting.
