DANCING SALT SHAYNE CAROLYN

The insulator was charged with the rabbit fur making the salt stick to it compared to a conductor/ pie dish because the electrons where not able to move from object to object compared to doing it with an insulator. when you rub the rabbit fur against the insulator it makes the insulator negative making the salt come off the pie dish and stick to the insulator.

Dnacing With Salt - Mack and Adam

The Styrofoam which is the isulator was charged by friction while the pie tin which is the conductor was not. This is why the salt sticks to the styrofoam and bounces off the
pie tin. When salt gets charged, the neutral object gets the same type of charge as the charged object that touched it. The salt bounces up and down between the pie tin and the table because some electrons were moving from one to another. We used foam and rubbed it with animal fur. As soon as we put it on the salt the electrons moved from the table which contained less electrons than to the foamwhich had more electrons that caused the salt to sick.

Dacing with salt

The salt bounces off the conductor and sticks to the insulator because the conductor was not charged by friction while the insulator was. When we rubbed the pink Styrofoam with the rabbit fur and put the pie tin on the Styrofoam and then brought the pie tin close to the salt on the metal sheet the salt bounced up and down. The salt bounced up and down because the electrons moved from object to object. When we rubbed the Styrofoam and the rabbit fur and we had salt and the table, The salt sticked to the Styrofoam. The reason being is because the electrons moved from the less electronic object which was the table to the more electronic object which was the negatively charged Styrofoam. The reason the salt sticks to the insulator and bounces of the conductor is because of the metal sheet and the charge on the conductors with their electrons.

Dancing with Salt-Shannon and Stephane

The insulator (Styrofoam) was charged by friction and the conductor (pie tin) was not. That is why the salt sticks to the insulator and bounces off the conductor.
When a neutral object (the salt) touches the charged object(pie tin), the neutral object gets the same type of charge as the charged object. See, the salt bounced up and down between the pie tin and the table because the electrons were moving from object to object.
Later, we used an insulator (foam) and rubbed it with animal fur. As soon as we put it on the salt the electrons moved from the less electron object (the table) to the more electron object (foam) which caused the salt to sick.
