EXPERIMENT WITH HEAT

BALLON AND FLAME

"Balloon and flames don´t mix, unless you add a little water to conduct heat"

We need:

• Balloons
• Water
• Matches
• Candle

EXPERIMENT

1. Blow up a balloon and tie it off .
2. Light a candle.
3. Hold the balloon over the top of the flame. It pops!!

1. Fill the balloon to the top with water, and then blow it up with air and tie it off.
2. Hold the water-filled balloon at the top while you slowly lower it over the candle....

Everyone knows that it´s going to pop, but for some strange reason it doesn´t.....

HOW DOES IT WORK

Water is a great substance for soaking up heat. The thin latex balloon allows the heat to pass through very quickly and warm the water, and keeps the balloon from popping.
