| Balloons Full of Holes! |
| Japan Science Museum |
| Which goes flat sooner, a regular balloon or a helium balloon? How can a rain jacket protect you from the rain and from your own sweat at the same time? Get your answers here... |
Age Range: 5-17 (This presentation is designed for elementary grade kids, but clicking on highlighted text and other links leads to deeper discussion and experiments fully worthy of more mature, young science explorers.)
Which goes flat sooner, a regular balloon or a helium balloon? How can a rain jacket protect you from the rain and from your own sweat at the same time? Learn the secret of the atoms along the edge of a sharp needle! Read and decode the world's tiniest secret message!
Note: You will not be able to perform the balloon experiment at home because of the current international shortage of helium. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the show as this Japanese museum provides photos of all the "ins and outs" of highly magnified submerged rubber balloons and waterproof jacket material filled with boiling water. The explanations and photographs are
informative and fascinating enough for adults, yet the text between pictures is brief enough to keep the attention of even the youngest ones.
But wait! There's more! Just click on the little box on the menu that says, "Return to Top Page of SLN Laboratory." Here you will find experiments designed to help you make an aurora, a cloud chamber, a neutralization
formula, and acid rain. (Note: the cloud chamber experiment starts with a slide show "video"; if you leave the introductory page too quickly, you will miss it.)
In some places you will see a button that says, "Return to science museum." Do not click that button unless you are proficient in written Japanese, or you will have a very difficult time finding your way back to this fun section in English. That shouldn't be too much of a surprise once you realize that this entire site is courtesy of the Science Museum in Japan.
Thank you, Japanese Science Museum, for making such an intriguing site available to us! Arigato gozaimasu! :)
