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!
