About

Rub a balloon on a wool sweater and it becomes charged. And when you bring that balloon near other objects, rather strange affects are observed. But why does a balloon induce such affects on surrounding objects? In this simulation, you will SEE why as you view the movement of charges that result from a nearby balloon. You will learn all about charged and uncharged objects, charging methods, and grounding methods. And once you've done your learning in Practice mode, you can try out the Play mode and see if you can conquer three challenges.
