Jumping Frogs!


Today we learned about STATIC ELECTRICITY.

First we cut up tiny paper frogs:


Then we brainstormed the different ways that we could make the frogs jump using a balloon. Some of us thought that we could rub the balloon with our hands to create electricity. This didn't quite work but it was still a great idea!


Then we tried rubbing the balloon on our heads! This created static electricity and made our hair stand up!

We then rubbed the balloon on a buddies head and placed the charged balloon near the frogs, it was fun to watch them jump!
