When the negatively charged balloons are brought together, they push away from each other. This happens because they both have the same type of charge, and like charges repel each other.

The charges in the wall moved to the opposite side when the balloon got close. This happened because the negative charges in the balloon attracted the positive charges in the wall.
I apologize for that! Here’s a half-sentence:
The charges in the wall moved because the balloon is negative.
The balloon sticks to the wall because it attracts the positive charges in the wall.

Claim: The distance between charged objects affects the electrical force between them; as the distance increases, the electrical force decreases.
Evidence: During the experiment, balloons that were close together felt a strong push or pull, but when we moved them farther apart, they barely interacted.
Reasoning: This shows that the electrical force weakens with more distance because charged objects can only attract or repel each other effectively when they are close enough.
