Mrs. Stone’s third grade class learned that electric force can move objects without touching them.  Their class did some experiments to create static electricity that causes objects to attract or repel each other.  The objects do not even have to touch.  The kids had lots of fun doing the experiments.

“An electric force is exerted between any two charged objects. Objects with the same charge, both positive and both negative, will repel each other, and objects with opposite charges, one positive and one negative, will attract each other.” (study.com)
