Demonstration #1
1. Demonstrate how you can pick up the tissue without touching it in any way with your body.
2. What is occurring on the atomic level that lets you do this?

The atom
The atom has positive charge in the nucleus, located in the protons. The positive charge cannot move from the atom unless there is a nuclear reaction.
The atom has negative charge in the electron cloud on the outside of the atom. Electrons can move from atom to atom without all that much difficulty.
