Static Electricity and Bubbles

Materials Needed:
  • comb
  • piece of wool
  • bubble mix
  • bubble ring
 Directions
  1. Rub a comb several times quickly on a piece of wool.
  2. Make a spray of bubbles with the bubble ring over the wool fabric so that the bubbles land on the fabric.
  3. Move the comb close to each bubble.
  4. Watch the bubbles jump!

After the activity, children can sketch and label pictures of the bubbles "jumping" in their science notebooks. Older students can write a summary explaining what causes the bubbles to attract or repel.

    What a great way to learn about science. My son will love this. Now where did I put that bubble ring?

    Kathi Still trying to figure out science for my 3rd grader.
