P5 explore static electricity in STEM!

14th May 2025

Primary 5 have been learning about static electricity through the story of Matilda.  After hearing an extract from the story, each child made a little newt from tissue paper and tried to get it to move, using the static electricity generated from rubbing a balloon against their school sweatshirt. We even tried rubbing the balloon on our hair! We hope that you enjoy seeing some photos…
