The Gardiner Library will host What’s Up With Static Electricity? on Sunday January 20 from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. This is a free event for ages 6-10. Sign-up open until January 11 and space is limited. Children will explore static electricity through a variety of experiments and inquiry based activities. Activities will include balloon static electricity, levitating an object, separating solids, and creating a static electric butterfly. Come ready to investigate and think in these hands on activities!

Christina Pominville is a seasoned science teacher with a master’s degree in science education. She is really into hands on science experiments and believes that kids learn science the best when they are doing it. This is a fun series of experiments for different age groups designed to get kids thinking about science and asking questions about how the world works.
