Neurones are nerve cells and are found in your brain and nervous system. There are about 80 billion neurones in the brain. Neurones connect to other neurones and pass electrical signals to and from your brain all around your body.
To make your model neurone the first thing that we are going to go is get a pipe cleaner and roll it round to make a circle. This is going to be the main body of the neurone cell.
For our next science activity we are going to be making Model Neurone Cells!

You can generate static electricity by rubbing a balloon against your jumper or even your hair! The tiny electric charge in this activity is completely safe.
The first thing that you need to do is blow up your balloon and tie off the end.
You can now take your balloon and rub it against your jumper for about a minute. This is going to generate some static electricity.
Now if you hold your balloon above your tissue paper snake you will see that it is attracted to balloon and will start to rise up towards it.
The reason this happens is because an electric charge is carried by tiny particles called protons and electrons. Protons carry a positive charge and electrons carry a negative charge. Charges of the same type repel each other, while different charges attract. When you rub the balloon, it picks up extra electrons, making it negatively charged. This causes the protons in the tissue paper to become attracted to the balloon and the edge of the paper picks up a positive charge.
You may like to try cutting some different shapes out of tissue paper and see how smaller/ larger shapes are affected by static electricity. Or you may like to see how other things react to static electricity. You might like to try turning on a tap, and seeing if the running water is attracted or repelled by static electricity.
The video tutorial for this activity is available on the Surrey Libraries Facebook Page
For our next science activity we are going to be learning about Static Electricity!
