1. Have children hold the edges of the parachute-with one child sitting under it.
2. On signal, the children pull back and forth on the parachute as if they are washing hair.
3. The child’s hair beneath the parachute becomes statically charged because of the rubbing.
4. On signal, swing the parachute up so the child’s hair goes up and stays up! (Static charge)
5. The more often the hair is “washed” the more ‘charged’ the head of hair becomes.
