Conduct the experiment in a dry room, as moisture in the air causes the static charge to dissipate more quickly. To make this paper even more detailed, I can:
This paper outlines a foundational STEM activity exploring static electricity through a "Spinning Static Paper" experiment. This hands-on activity demonstrates electron transfer (friction) causing charge separation in insulators. Download Static Activity
Fold the paper square diagonally in both directions, then unfold it, creating a small, raised center point. Conduct the experiment in a dry room, as
