Experiencing Electricity

Who says science isn’t electrifying?! The Gr. 4/5 boys have zapped into learning about non-contact forces by using the invisible power of balloons rubbed on their hair to roll an aluminum can from point ‘A’ to point ‘B’ and charging a plastic spoon to witness pepper jumping to the spoon when the spoon is hovered over salt and pepper. The boys also cut up small paper bits and raced their friends to see who could pick up the pieces the fastest using only static electricity from their spoons!
