Static Electricity: Snap, Crackle, Jump

Rubbing certain materials together can cause the build-up of electrical charges, or static electricity. In this video segment adapted from ZOOM, cast members charge a vinyl record by rubbing it with a wool scarf, and then use the record to demonstrate static electricity in action: The record lifts breakfast cereal right off the table!
