I'm sorry I'm late readers! My dad came home this weekend so it slipped my mind. I cant believe that january is almost over! So this week is about the electric field, electric charges, and colulombs law. I'm going to talk abotu creating charged objects. How does it happen? Well, its from the addition or removal of electrons which create negative and positive charged objects. Above, is a picture of my friend Sophia. When she rubbed the pink balloon against her head, it created static (sticky) electricity, causing her hair the balloon to stick to each other. Rubbing the balloon and hair togehter facilitates the transfer of electrons by providing a greater level of contact between their molecules. Go try and rub a balloon on your hairy head and see how much static electricity you can create.
