The Pepper Magnet.


Hypothesis: I think that by rubbing a plastic spoon on a wool sweater to charge the spoon with static electricity, it will attract pepper away from salt.

DIE-rections: You'll need a saucer, a wool sweater, salt and pepper, and a plastic spoon.




First pour the salt and pepper on to the saucer. (It doesn't matter how much you pour on.) Then charge the spoon with static electricity by rubbing it really fast against the wool sweater. Then wave the spoon close to the saucer, letting it hover over the salt and pepper mixture. It should attract the pepper.




Conclusion: The spoon attracted the pepper, but no salt. It was a success! I encourage you to use this when separating salt and pepper.
