Consider the following table that records how three pieces of tape interact with each other as well as with metals and non-metals. These pieces of tape were prepared using some combination of Methods 1 and 2. Method 1. Label two pieces of tape A and B. Stick the A tape to the back the B tape, A’s sticky side to B’s not sticky side, leaving a small tab free so that you can pull them apart quickly. NOTE: you need to pull them fast enough for you to hear the tape being ripped off- Faster is better. Method 2. Label two pieces of tape both C. Take two pieces of tape and stick them each to the table, at different locations, with a small tab free so that you can pull them off quickly. NOTE: you need to pull them fast enough for you to hear the tape being ripped off- Faster is better.
