Balloon Science


We have been having a lot of fun with balloons at our lunch time science club and also at our Show and Share night.
They are really cheap and easy to get and you can learn about science while having a lot of fun.
Here are some ideas:
1.     Try rubbing it on your hair and then hold it just above your hair. Look in the mirror!
2.     Have an empty aluminium can on a table. Rub the balloon on your hair or else on a woollen jumper. Hold the balloon close to the can but don't touch it. Can you make your can race towards your balloon as you move it away?
3.     Rub the balloon on your hair. Stick it to the wall!
4.     Have a look at this website, which has loads of balloon activities and a good explanation of the science behind it.
6.     Have fun!
