#367: Make a Balloon Stick to the Wall

'Tis the season for static electricity. Why not use it for fun?


Did you know if you rub a balloon in your hair, it will build up static electricity on the balloon's surface, making it able to stick to a wall? Try it!


Make this a family activity: Get everyone adding a balloon to the wall.

This activity promotes curiosity about science.

    Oh, this was so fun as a kid! Seeing my brother's hair stand on end was hilarious! :)
