What Happens to an inflated balloon when it is added to three What Happens to an inflated balloon when it is added to three different temperatures of water?different temperatures of water?

My HypothesisMy Hypothesis• I think balloon A being placed in cold water will

stay exactly the same.• I think balloon B being placed in hot water will

shrink to the point of becoming flat.• I think balloon C being placed in boiling water will

pop.• I think that the boiling water molecules will cause

enough friction against the rubber balloon to cause it to POP!

• I don’t think that the cold or hot water molecules will cause enough friction against the rubber balloons to make them pop.

Let’s Test the HypothesisLet’s Test the HypothesisMaterials and Method!Materials and Method!

• Balloon A – Measured at 7in and placed into hot tap water.

• Balloon B – Measured at 6 3/4in and placed into ice cold water.

• Balloon C – Measured at 7in and placed into boiling water.

My ResultsMy Results• Balloon A – It was in

hot tap water for 15 min, and ended up shrinking about 1 inch.

• Balloon B – It was in ice cold water for 15 min. and it had no change in size.

• Balloon C – It was in the boiling water for less than 1 minute and then it POPPED!

My Hypothesis is Partially My Hypothesis is Partially True.True.

• The true part was Balloon B in the ice cold water had no change. And Balloon C in the boiling water POPPED!

• The false part was I thought Balloon A in the hot tap water would shrink to almost deflated, and it did not. It only shrunk 1 inch.

My ConclusionMy Conclusion• I think the water molecules

move very fast when they reach the boiling point, so when I placed the rubber balloon in the boiling water the friction from both the balloon and the water caused it to POP.

• I also think that the water molecules in the hot tap water were not moving as fast and that’s why the balloon in that water only shrunk.
