Science Experiment

Yesterday, we went to a friend's house with a other homeschool families to have a "shoebox science fair". (your experiment had to fit in a shoebox). We had lots of fun, and over all it went well, except for my project...

For my project you need:
2 balloons
a candle
matches

First, fill one balloon with air, and the other one half with water, and half with air. Light the candle and put the air-filled balloon in the flame. It bursts... Now, stick the half-filled-water balloon in the flame. It doesn't pop! Why not? Because the water in the balloon is absorbing the heat. Eventually, you would boil the water inside the balloon, and then if you waited even longer, the balloon would burst.

Sounds like a fun expirament doesn't it? Well, everything went fine, until I let the flame go a little too close to the top of the balloon, letting the hot air get inside the balloon. The balloon popped and water went all over the place...  Thankfully it was only water. :-) So I learned not to put the balloon so close to the flame next time...

What would've been really neat, is if we had gotten a picture right as the balloon had burst, and water was flying everywhere... :-)

Our teacher did that at our church! She asked one of our pastors, Pastor Steve(he is very funny) to do it. His popped too, and now if Mrs. Betsy(our teacher) asks for volunteers he won't do it.

Mr. Kuhn loved your experiment. He said he would have loved to have seen the water getting things all wet. Sounds like a fun time.

Well, it is too bad that your experiment didn't turn out. A lot of our experiments don't turn out. :)

Have a very bright, very cheerful day!

Sorry your experiment didn't work out quite like you hoped - that's what happened to me all the time when we use to do science experiments - they rarely worked right - I guess science isn't my thing, huh. lol

Yes, what Anna was doing is dangerous and makes her mother nervous everytime she does it - I'd feel a lot better if we had about 3 mattresses piled up below her. And I'm not sure if you would call what she does a flip or not, she just sits on the bar, lowers herself and then straightens her legs and then flips backwards off the bar, but in rather slow motion - too scary for me to watch too many times though.

Make sure to check back at my blog probably late Tuesday - I post chick pictures. Wish you girls could be here to share the fun.

That sounds like fun! Don't worry, my experiment would be the flop too!

That sounds like alot of fun! I did a science fair project back in January or so... I think I already told you about it, though. =)

Yes, that would've been a cool picture!

Thought I should stop by!

I heard about your sad experiment! To bad - but it sounded neat! So how many others were at the science show or whatever you call it?

I should come here more often! I enjoy looking at the pictures!

Have a great day!
