WOW with ROBO
Ages 6–10
Why does paper stick to a balloon?
Watch little pieces of paper jump toward ROBO’s balloon.
Why does it happen?
Rubbing a balloon with cloth gives it a static charge. That charge can attract little pieces of paper.
Try it yourself
Ask an adult to rub a balloon with cloth. Compare what the paper does before and after rubbing.
Try this with an adult. Keep uninflated and broken balloons away from young children.
