(I had to restart my notes, had to change experiment.)
 * Hypothesis**: Depending on the type of foam the static electricity will make bigger sparks.

 * Non-allergenic


 * Memory Foam**


 * Developed for space-shuttle seating, also called NASA foam.
 * Very dense.
 * Conforms to shape.

Electrophorus:
"Tape or hot-glue the Styrofoam cup to the middle of the inside of the pie plate. (Most household glues won't work because they dissolve Styrofoam.) Place the pie pan on top of the upside-down Styrofoam plate or a piece of acrylic plastic" (exploratorium.edu)

Static Electricity: Static electricity is made by friction, rubbing, etc. All matter contains positively charged and negatively charged particles (protons and electrons), these particles left unchanged is an atom, they balance each other out. If this atom has the same amount of protons and electrons it is neutral. Depending on the amount of protons and electrons makes it positive or negative. The more protons than electrons is positive, same way around for negative but more electrons equals negative.
