Salt and pepper experiment


Hi, I'm Matt and I have been doing a science experiment on putting salt and pepper together and the pepper comes up onto a plastic comb that you rub on your head.

This is the science behind it, by rubbing the comb through your hair, it receives a static charge. The static charge causes the grains of pepper, which are lighter than the grains of salt, to jump up onto the comb.

  1. hi Matt, what a lot of blogging you've been doing, great job! Learning about static electricity is fun, how could you apply it to something else in your life? It always gives me a fright when I get some static from a jersey. Nice explanation too.
