| There are countless science experiments for kids to | | | | sunny window sills facing the same direction so they |

| to do an experiment to see which materials attract | | | | are facing the same direction and preferably in |
| static electricity. Or, try dragging your feet on the | | | | separate rooms. Then, plug the radio in and set it near |
| carpet and seeing if shock is produced differently with | | | | one of the plants so the plant can "listen" to the music. |
