Inflated Balloon Experiment Essay

1112 Words5 Pages

DEFINITION AND DESCRIPTION OF THE TASK The researcher will conduct an inflated balloon experiment. This experiment will allow the audience to understand clearly, "Charles' Law" and "Kinetic Molecular Theory" respectively. It will use extremely low and extremely high temperature so that the audience can evaluate the significant difference on the balloon size. The students shall be competent in presenting a laboratory experiment because it is one way to get involve in the lessons taught in school. Through experiment and actual observation of the students they can concretely say and explain the concept that "when you do this, this will occur." They will be confident enough to explain it in front of other audiences. Charles's Law states that the …show more content…

The collisions exhibited by gas particles are entirely elastic; when two molecules collide, total kinetic energy is conserved. If the temperature has increased therefore the molecules, have more kinetic energy, so they move with a more significant velocity. Methods Inflated Balloon Experiment 1.Boiling water is added to a beaker or other container. 2. The balloon is filled with air through pumping or blowing. It must not be over filled because you need to leave room for the gas inside to expand. It is best to use a party balloon instead of a water balloon. It decreases the chance that the balloon will pop. 3. A string is wrapped around the widest part of the balloon. By wrapping a piece of string around the balloon, you can get an accurate measurement of how big the balloon is in the beginning. Either mark or cut the string at the broadest part of the balloon. The string is removed from the balloon and measured by a ruler. This measurement is the first circumference of your balloon. You will want to compare this to the size of the balloon once the air inside heats
