Program Description

Event Details


Get ready to explore the power of static electricity! Kids will use a “charge checker” to test how different objects react and then try a series of fun experiments—like making paper people dance, bending water, and even levitating plastic bag strips. We’ll race rolling soda cans and see how static electricity makes it all happen. Everyone will take home a balloon and a can to keep the experiments going! Perfect for kids in grades 3–5.

Information About Age Ranges

While the library's family programs are open to all ages, other programs in youth services are designed for a specific age or grade range. Establishing age and grade ranges allows us to plan programs that are appropriate for each range of child development, maintain quality in our programming, and promote fairness to all. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at library@orangecountync.gov.
