Balloon and Glass Experiment
Wow! Check out this super cool science experiment that forces an inflated balloon into a glass jar! This is a simple and fun way to teach your kids about the amazing power of air pressure!
How does the balloon get inside the glass!?
The hot air increases the pressure in the jar and forces some air to escape between the balloon and the mouth of the jar. Immediately after the flame goes out, the air begins to cool, contract and the air pressure drops.
The drop in air pressure creates a low pressure inside the jar. Now the higher air pressure that is outside the balloon begins to try and fill the lower pressure jar and pushes the balloon into the jar in the process.
