The Great Helium Balloon


Today Natalia went to a birthday party, and came home with a blue, star-shaped balloon, cowboy hat, and green balloon sword. Later I did a small test.

On the way home, in the car, I tried to pinch it, and could not. But when we got outside, I could pinch it so that the material touched. But when we got inside it blew up again.

That proves that in different temperatures, air moves into particles.

  2. Your are right in your observations and analysis - the gases (air or any other kind) do increase in volume when temperature raises. Very nice experiment!

  3. Hi Katya! I don't know if you still post on this blog, but I thought I'd leave a comment anyway! I found your mom's blog today and then found yours from hers. I love singing, reading, cats, and American Girls too ;-) Have a great day!!
