Science Fair Projects Kids Will Enjoy Part Two – Static Electricity

Here is the next project in our series of science fair projects kids will enjoy. In this one we are going to try and separate finely ground pepper from salt! It is so important for kids to enjoy science that it is always good to do fun science experiments with them.

Remember for a full science project you will have to combine this whole series, so, I hope you have time to wait for them all! If not, there is a very good solution for you, go to 24 Hour Science Projects; there you will find complete science fair projects you can do in 24 hours or less! So, if you are in a hurry, go to 24 Hour Science Projects now!

For a good science fair project you have to make notes of all your steps, saying what you are doing and why you are doing it. You must formulate a hypothesis, sdo the experiment according to the correct scientific method and think of your display. It is always a good idea to take photos as you go.

The case of the pepper and the salt:

What you need:

• Very fine pepper
• Salt
• A plastic spoon
• A woolly sweater

What you have to do:

1. Sprinkle quite a bit of the pepper and salt on the table
2. Make sure you mix them well
3. Rub the plastic spoon on the sweater for a few minutes
4. Hold it above the mixture on the table, not too low but high enough for the pepper to attach to it
5. What happens?
6. What did you do when you rubbed the spoon on the sweater?
7. Have a look at the explanation in our previous post called “Science Fair Projects Kids Will Enjoy Part One – Static Electricity”

You must make sure the spoon is high enough, if it is not high enough the salt, that is heavier than the pepper, will also be able to jump as high as the pepper and the two will not separate.
