How can we blow up a balloon inside a bottle
Hypothesis
When we blow up a balloon in a bottle it will only blow up a small amount, because it will not have enough room to fully expand
Materials
- 4 balloons
- 1 soda bottle
- 1 soda bottle with a small hole in the bottom
Procedure
- Three student will attempt to blow up the a balloon in a bottle (using the non damaged bottle)
- Mr. Lakusta will attempt to blow up the balloon using the bottle with a small hole in the bottom of the bottle
Observations
I now invite you to post a comment and make a conclusion about the experiment. Can you make any other predictions based on our findings? I am curious to hear what you have learned from our first experiment in our new unit "Air and Aerodynamics"
When there is a damaged bottle the air escapes from the bottle so it is easier to blow the balloon up. But when you use a non damaged bottle the air is trying to escape when you are trying to blow up the balloon.
ReplyDeleteWhen you try to inflate the balloon using the bottle with no hole in it the air pressure is too great for any more room, thus not allowing the balloon to inflate. But, when using the bottle with a crack in it it allows the air pressure in the bottle to escape, thus allowing the balloon to inflate.
ReplyDeleteWhen the three students tried to inflate the bottle with no hole the air was already taking up all the room in the bottle, so there is no room for the balloon to inflate. When Mr. Lakusta inflated the ballon in the bottle with a hole there was a place for the air to escape allowing the balloon to inflate.
ReplyDeleteWhen the students tried to blow up the balloon in the bottle without the hole, they could not because the air in the bottle took up space so there was not enough room for the balloon to blow up. When Mr. Lakusta tried with the bottle with the hole he could because when the balloon began to expand it forced the air out of the hole which gave the balloon enough room to expand.
ReplyDeleteWhen Justin, Ivy, and Daniel tried to blow the rubber balloon in the green plastic bottle, it wouldn't work because the air in the bottle was trying to escape from the top, and the volunteer was trying to blow MORE air into the bottle. This created a great amount of pressure and air packed in the bottle, making the balloon not blow up. But when Mr. Lakusta blew the balloon, he had different bottle. The bottle contained a small hole at the bottom of the bottle. This allowed the air to escape, and the balloon to blow.
ReplyDeleteWhen the 3 students tried to bow up the balloon in the bottle they couldn't because of the air pressure inside the bottle. This meaning that the balloon could only be blown up until a certain size which was very small. This was an example of how air takes up space. Then when Mr. Lakusta blew up the balloon it got big. Is he superman? No. It was only the result of the air escaping from the bottle through a small cut in the bottle. This allows the air to escape from the bottle creating more space for the balloon to inflate.
ReplyDeleteI love the comment Ivy... Superman... no...
ReplyDeleteWhen Daniel, Justin, and Ivy tried blowing the balloon up, it wouldn't work because there was trapped air inside. The air took up space so that the balloon couldn't blow up. Then Mr. Lakusta tried blowing up his balloon in the bottle, and he did it because there was a hole in it. Since air takes up space, and there was a hole in Mr. Lakusta's bottle, the air could escape through the hole, so the balloon could be blown up.
ReplyDeleteWhen the three volunteers tried to blow the balloon it wouldn't blow up because the air pressure in the bottle was to great for the balloon, so you where only able to blow it to a limited size. However when they tried to blow up the balloon in the bottle with a hole, the balloon was able to inflate, because the air had escaped leaving room for the balloon. This shows that air does take up space even if you can't see it.
ReplyDeleteAfter sucesfully completeing our experiment, we came to this conclusion. When we went to blow up the balloon in the bottle with no hole, the balloon wouldn't blow up because the bottle was already full of air, so when the balloon went to expand there was no room and there was no where for the air to escape. When Mr.lakusta went to blow up his balloon in his bottle , it inflated, most of the students were starting to think that Mr.Lakusta had incredibly strong lungs but we soon found out that there was a small hole in his bottle. The hole in the bottle impacted the results because when the balloon went to inflate there was a place for the air to escape from causing there to be enough space for the balloon to expand in.
ReplyDeleteYou've got it all wrong. Mr. Lakusta is from another planet, ZORG! He has super human strength and is fooling you all. Mwuhaaaaa!!!!!
ReplyDeleteEveryone... I would like to introduce the very talented and bright Mrs Jane Diner... Science Consultant for Edmonton Public Schools. I have asked her to monitor our blog and share her wisdom and insights with all of us. Perhaps one day she may even come for a visit to the school. So make your posts good! :)
ReplyDeleteWhen the 3 students tried to blow up the balloon, we couldn't, because the air was trapped in the bottle, not allowing the balloon to expand. When Mr. Lakusta blew up the balloon, his bottle had a hole in it, allowing the air to escape and the balloon to expand.
