First I was at station one and I it was the test that you had a balloon filled with air and then there was a bunch of small paper shavings. You had to rub the balloon on your hair causing friction then bring it down to the paper shavings to see what would happen. My hypothisis was that once the balloon was rubed on the hair it would charge the balloon negatively or positively, cause an imbalanced of neg and pos charges. Then once the balloon goes to the paper shavings it would pick them up to cause a balance of charges. This is exactly what happend when the balloon went to the paper, it picked up the pieces and then the charges became equal, the paper was sticking to the balloon because the charges were transfering to create a balance of charges.
At Station Two the two peices of tape once put facing eachother repelled because of the same force in station one opposites attract and likes reppel. I thought that the two peices of tape would not do anything but i was not taking into account the forces.
At station three after we taped down the peices of tape to the table then put the like side towareds each other they reppeled but once we turned one tape around so it was sticky side to slik they attracted.
Questions:
Is there any other forces besides the equal opposites that were acting upon the balloon and tape?
Does the paper stick to the balloon because the charges are tansfering to the paper from the balloon causing a connection?
