Science Fair time again

Surprise, surprise, Brigham chose a project that uses fire!!!!  This year he did a "fireproof balloon" project.  Here are some great photos of the experiment.
Filling the first with air.

The air filled balloon popped the fastest after only a few seconds.

This water filled balloon didn't pop at all even after 5 minutes of having the flame under it.

The sand filled balloon actually caught fire, but didn't pop, it just bured a hole for the sand the drop out and then extinguished itself.


Briggs had a great time with this one.  It was amazing what different substances will do to change the character of a balloon.
