You will need some balloons
1. Blow up your balloon and tie a knot to hold the air inside.
2. Rub your hair with the balloon a number of times.
Then, hold the balloon above your head. Make sure that you are not touching your head.
3. Watch as your hair stands on end!
Why?
Rubbing a balloon on your hair creates static electricity,
Static electricity is a build-up of electrical charge on an object, because some of the electrons (negatively charged) are transferred across.One object will have a negative charge and one to have a positive charge.
