Shocking experiment 1

Shocking experiment 1
Draw several tiny silhouettes on thin paper. Cut them up and put them on a table. Strongly rub a balloon to your hair (or a CD box) for around 30 seconds and bring it near the little paper men.

What happens?
The balloon takes over electrons from the hair and charges negatively. When you bring the balloon close, its negative charge rejects the paper silhouettes' electrons and so, their superior side becomes positive. As the opposite charges attract themselves, the paper little men start jumping towards the balloon.
