Pūtaiao ~ Static electricity

 Today we observed and experienced the effects of static electricty. 

After creating a ghost or picture from tissue we rubbed a balloon on our hair to create friction and an electric charge.  

We learnt that electricity is all around and in us.  We noticed that people with long hair didn't make a strong static charge compared with those who rubbed the balloon on short hair.  We also wondered if the weather made more or less and if the size of the balloon mattered? 

It was heaps of fun!

Last week we had a go at printing using printing ink and rollers.   It was a long process but worth it!

Our Purple moment shared what we liked about Lockdown.  It was inspired by a book we read about a boy who loved purple.
