Balloons

In our last class Feb. 7, 2011 we participated in a balloon activity. Other than the fact that we all read the chapter and knew what was going to happen in the experiment I feel that this is a great science experiment to conduct with older students. Kids love to be engaged in the activities and especially when there are balloons involved. It was a great way to show students that things like the Magic Blue solution had a different reaction to the balloon and the pin. To me this activity wouldn't work for young students because of the use of the pins. But to demonstrate it and students make predictions would work.
