Activity: Magic Balloon Hair ๐
Blow up a balloon and rub it on your hair or a wool cloth. Then hold the balloon near small bits of paper or your arm. Watch what happens!
Whatโs happening? Rubbing the balloon makes static electricity. This makes the balloon pull light things like paper, and even makes your hair stand up!
๐ Ask a Scientist
Why does the balloon stick to things after rubbing? โก Can electricity be made without wires and plugs?

Book: The Very Hungry Caterpillar
A tiny caterpillar comes out of a little egg. He is very hungry, so he starts to eat different foods every dayโfirst apples, then pears, then plums, strawberries, oranges, and even some yummy treats like cake and ice cream. But after eating too much, his tummy hurts! The next day he eats one green leaf and feels much better. Then, he makes a small cocoon around himself and rests inside. After some days, something amazing happensโthe caterpillar changes into a big, beautiful butterfly and flies away.
