Water Rocket Balloons & Hair

PIRA: 5A40.26

Materials: Balloons with Red Tips, Hair or Fur

This demo is to show how the balloons pick up electrons from the material they are being rubbed against. This will cause the balloons to be negatively charged. This can be used to show the balloons repel one another. The balloon can be used as the basis to show of other materials are positive or negative due to the easy ability to charge the balloons.
