A colourful promotional poster for the Science2Life “Storm in a Balloon” kit. The design features Scientific Sue holding a clear balloon containing polystyrene beads that cling to the inside surface due to static electricity. The poster explains that users can create a miniature storm using a clear balloon and beads while discovering the power of static electricity. Contents include 10 clear latex balloons and polystyrene beads, with tips for storing balloons in a cool, dark place and rolling them between your hands before inflation. The bright, child-friendly design uses lightning symbols and bold typography to emphasise the connection between static electricity, storms and hands-on scientific discovery. The Science2Life branding and tagline, “Bringing Science2Life through hands-on discovery,” appear at the bottom of the poster.
