Feel the Static!

  1. The Balloon: Rub a balloon fast on your jumper or hair for 10 seconds. Now, hold it just above your hair. What happens? Hold it near a wall. It should stick!
  2. The Polystyrene Pollen: Rub the balloon again. Break up some tiny pieces of paper or polystyrene packaging. Hold the balloon just above the pieces. They will 'jump' up and stick to it, just like pollen jumping to a bee!
