  • Step 4: Step carefully on to the table.


Predictions:
  • The balloons will pop when the boy steps on to the table.
  • The balloons will change shape.


Results:
No balloons popped. Many boys in the class were able to stand up on the table without the balloons bursting. The balloons did change shape as the table pushed down on them.
Conclusion: Air will withstand force even if pressure is put on it, just as the table put pressure on our balloon filled with air.
