Try this simple balloon static electricity experiment. Make the positively charged pepper jump to a balloon by adding negative electrons to the balloon.

▶️ How to do the static electricity balloon experiment:

Step 1: Shake out quite a bit of pepper onto the plate.

Step 2: Blow up a latex balloon.

Step 3: Rub the balloon with rabbit's fur, a wool cloth, or against your hair.

Step 4: Slowly lower the balloon toward the pepper. Observe how the pepper behaves.

▶️ How the jumping pepper experiment works:
When the balloon gets close enough, you'll see the pepper 'jumping' off the plate and sticking to the balloon. The pepper is positively charged and it is attracted to the negative charges you put onto the balloon in step 3.
