science experiment

i have just finished blowing up 12 balloons, recording measurements and setting them up in their conditions.i finished around 6:30pm, so on saturday around this time, i'll see how they went and re-measure

i noticed some things when doing my experiment:

the non-metallic balloons
- are much easier to blow
- are softer

the metallic balloons
- are harder to blow
- are stiffer

Method

Three non-metallic blue balloons were blown up to its maximum and each was put in: a dark room (cupboard), in a lit room and an outdoors area. Each balloon was marked with a permanent marker, according to their environment. This process was repeated with three metallic blue balloons, three non-metallic white balloons and three metallic white balloons. Each balloon was measured around the maximum circumference and this was recorded. The balloons were left in each of these conditions for four days. The maximum circumference of each balloon was measured four days later. These results were recorded and the differences were calculated. Any other observations were also recorded. This experiment was repeated again.

Materials

- six non-metallic blue balloons
- six metallic blue balloons
- six non-metallic white balloons
- six metallic white balloons
- tape measure
- permanent marker
- recording materials (pens, paper)

weather balloons???

sdjflskdjfldsfkj nooo i tipped out my balloons and just realised that i didnt have enough of some colours to re-do the experiment. i think ill go away and buy another 50 packets incase they all turn up with holes in them or something.. so i can finally start my srp

anyways i looked up some stuff in google and saw some things about weather balloons and their colours.

soo i might research more into this about the materials/colours that may affect their performance and compare it to my experiment with normal balloons

background info

okaaaay. so i've been looking at some background stuff about balloons and what they're made of etcc.. and i've come across some pretty interesting interesting stuff like the whole process of how balloons are made and also some stuff that might help with my experiment e.g how 'the strength of balloons can be affected by the pigment'

BALLOOONS

okaaaaaaaay i got the materials for my experiment and im going to start it soon
materials include: normal coloured and metallic coloured balloons, measuring tape, permanent marker (to write on balloon) aaand thats about it. oh yeh paper, pens etc to record
