Remember: rubbing a balloon on your hair moves tiny minus charges from your hair onto the balloon, so the balloon has extra minus and your hair extra plus. Opposite charges pull, so your hair reaches up to the balloon; every hair has the same charge, and the same charges push apart, so the hairs stand up. On a damp day the charges leak away sooner. Keep balloons away from little ones (a choking risk), and never play near plug sockets. Tutki Asks Why: a science adventure for curious kids, with Tutki the octopus. Got a "why" question?
