Static Electricity
Activities with static electricity help children learn that electricity has force and makes light. Children can easily produce a static electricity charge by rubbing a balloon on their hair, socks on a carpet, or a comb through their hair and then on a piece of wool. When they take a charged object such as a balloon and place it next to something very light, such as crisped rice cereal, they can observe the cereal pieces stick to the balloon. While we want children to be wary of the power of electricity so they don’t do things like putting an object into an electrical outlet, learning about static electricity can be both fun and harmless.
