Expansion 1

Let's learn about expansion!

Do the following experiments at home with the help of an adult!

Balloon Expansion Experiment
Materials: saucepan filled with hot water, oven mitts or gloves, empty glass bottle (such as a ketchup bottle), rock or a weight to hold the bottle down, balloon

Put a balloon over the top of an empty ketchup bottle (you may need to put a rock in the bottom of the bottle for weight). Place the bottle in a saucepan of hot water.

After doing this experiment, posts your pictures here to share them with your classmates and also share your observations and why do you think this happened!





Penny Experiment
Materials: glass bottle with opening no larger than a penny, one penny, bowl of ice cold water.


Dip the penny and the threads of the bottle neck in the cold water. Put the penny over the opening of the bottle and wrap hands around the bottle.
