Practical lesson
We propose a very fun way to teach them what static electricity is. You will have to rub a balloon on your neck, deal with a very
negative jellyfish (a plastic bag) and a neutral sheep (an aluminum can). It is a super simple activity that you can do at home.
Thanks to our friendly collaborators, your little students will understand it easily. We're positive people (ahem), so we're sure you'll
love it.
• A plastic bag
• An aluminum can (empty)
• A balloon
• Tape, markers and scissors
• A little thinking head
That all objects are made up of atoms and atoms have different charges depending on the number of electrons (negative charge) and protons
(positive charge) they contain. Objects that have different charges attract each other (like the neutral sheep following the negative balloon).
While objects that have the same charge repel each other (our negative jellyfish hastily runs away from the negative balloon). Ah! and that
science is much more fun when we have the luxury of being able to count on the help of such funny characters.
Well... it's ours, from Wonderbly. We have a mission: for those crazy little heads to learn while having fun and, to achieve this, we create
beautiful personalized books, like The Boy/The Girl Who Lost His Name. Did you like our experiment? You can invent other similar ones
with the characters you like the most and share them on our Facebook page.
