The last little while, we've been doing a Science unit on electricity. We had fun learning about static electricity and then moved on to circuits and other neat stuff.
First we rub the balloon to build up the static electricity.
It works! The paper men stick to the balloon!
Now it's Rebecca's turn to rub the balloon.
This is fun!
Joshua's turn
Now we'll use our homemade static tester to see if different materials hold a static charge.
Nope, the stick doesn't work.
Let's try the plastic comb
Hmm
How about this? I think I saw the tester wiggle just a bit!
We did a whole bunch of circuit experiments with the Electronic Playground
In this one we learned that salt water is a good conductor of electricity. It made the LED light up brighter than just plain tap water.
We've also been doing the Gizmos on the explorelearning.com website. They are really neat! Science is fun!
