So why exactly do you think the balloon expands? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below. Be sure to check out GMSA@9 on Wednesday when Meteorologist Kaiti Blake does the experiment and explains the science behind it or click on the video player above.
Balloon Experiment with candy and soda
Here’s what you’ll need:
soda
Pop Rocks
Nerds
balloons
paper towels
Procedure/Instructions:
Attach a balloon to the mouth of a funnel and pour the candy into the balloon.
Next attach the balloon to a soda bottle. 12 ounce bottles were used for the experiment. Be careful to not let any of the candy spill into the soda while you are attaching it.
Once the balloon is securely on the soda bottle shake the contents of the balloon into the soda.
