How do you make a balloon magic? Read the instructions below and you<br />

will find out how to give balloons special<br />

powers that make them seem magical!<br />

You will need:<br />

• two different coloured balloons<br />

• a sheet of coloured paper torn<br />

into small pieces<br />

• a spoon • some sugar<br />

Step 1 Blow up<br />

the balloons.<br />

Tie the end<br />

of each<br />

balloon with<br />

a firm knot.<br />

Step 3 Scatter the pieces of<br />

coloured paper over a desk.<br />

Hold a balloon<br />

just above the<br />

torn pieces<br />

of paper.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y will<br />

lift up and<br />

stick to the<br />

balloon!<br />

Step 2 Rub each<br />

balloon hard against<br />

your shirt or jumper.<br />

<strong>The</strong> trick works best if<br />

you are<br />

wearing<br />

something<br />

made from<br />

wool.<br />

Step 4 Sprinkle a spoonful of<br />

sugar over a desk.<br />

Hold the other<br />

balloon just<br />

above the<br />

sugar. It too<br />

will lift up and<br />

stick to the<br />

balloon!<br />

<strong>The</strong> balloons became ‘magic’ when you rubbed them against your<br />

clothes. <strong>The</strong> rubbing gave the balloons what we call ‘a charge of static<br />

electricity’. This gives them the power to pick up very light things such as<br />

paper and sugar and to make them stick. Try the trick on your friends!<br />
