Exploring Static Electricity

18th May 2026

The children had great fun investigating static electricity using balloons and their hair.

They observed how rubbing the balloon created a static charge, which made hair stand up and objects move. It was a hands-on science experiment that helped the children learn about forces in an exciting and memorable way.

There was lots of laughter, curiosity, and great scientific thinking throughout the lesson!
