Balloon and Candle Experiment
Wow! Did you know you can hold a balloon over a burning candle and the balloon with not pop with this little trick!?
This is such a fun and easy experiment that your kids will love to try it over and over again!
The science behind this experiment:
The magical science behind this balloon and candle experiment really is in the water! Water has a much higher heat capacity than air, meaning that it takes a lot more energy to heat up water than it does to heat up the air.
The water is able to absorb a lot of the heat from the flame and pull it away from the latex, which prevents the latex of the balloon from melting and allowing the balloon to pop.
