Then when I pulled away the top piece of tape I transferred the electrons from the bottom tape to the top tape. When created a charged piece of tape. Both pieces of tape have electrons that are negatively charged. When I put the 2 pieces of tape close to each other they repel each other. Magnets do the same when the similar charged ends face each other. Since the bottom piece of tape is attached to the cups the top piece will levitate as it wants to repel each other. Gotta love Science. Saw this on Nitty Gritty Science and had to give a try. I love it. so please check out her account, as she has many great experiment's.
