Great choice, Junior Scientist! Today we're doing the "Static Electricity Butterfly" experiment. Let me explain what we'll discover together. Rubbing the balloon moves electrons onto it, giving it a static charge. Static electricity attracts light objects like tissue paper, pulling the butterfly toward the balloon!
