Static Electricity Lesson Intrigues Students

In a pre-holiday science project, Mrs. Oliver’s third-grade science classes at Sunrise Estates Elementary School charged up their reindeer for the big flight. After learning about static electricity, they applied their knowledge of built-up charges to create a reaction between their reindeer’s tissue paper antlers and balloons.
