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.
