How do you make static electricity?

Question

How do you make static electricity?

Answer 1

Rub a balloon on your cat

Rub silk on glass

Answer 2

Shuffle your feet along a carpet to build up electricity.  Touch a doorknob to feel the resulting shock.

Change the number of electrons in a material, creating a positive charge in the material that donates electrons, and a negative charge in the material that gains electrons.

I hope this helps.
