Static Electricity With Balloons. Jared uses wool and a balloon to create a negative charge that attracts the positively charged paper people. Use simulations to explore electrostatic interactions in this online lab you will on new page, type in static electricity in the search box.
Have a little fun with static electricity.
Rubbing a balloon with wool cloth will create static electricity charges. When you rub the balloons against the fabric they become negatively charged. How much water can you put in the can until the balloon can't pull. In our experiment, the balloon's surface accepts some electrons and becomes negatively charged.
