Procedure
- Using a pencil, draw butterfly wings on your tissue paper. (Make sure the wings there smaller than the cardboard). DO NOT glue the wings onto the cardboard!
- Cut a butterfly body out of the cardstock paper and place glue down the middle and attach to your wings. Again, DO NOT glue the tissue paper down.
- Finish the drawing of your butterfly by adding antennas and the googly eyes.
- Blow up your balloon; rub your balloon in your hair to give it an electric charge. Now hold the balloon on top of the butterfly (don’t touch the butterfly) and watch the wings raise and lower as you move the balloon closer and farther away.
