Balloon in a Bottle

Balloon in a Bottle
Can you blow up a Balloon in a bottle? Is it possible. Maybe. In this experiment you will find how to do this.

Materials
  1. 2 bottles
  2. 2 balloons
  3. 1 pin
What to do
  1. First. Get a balloon inside 1 bottle and blow it up
  2. Take the other bottle and put a hole in it with the pin. Just a small one
  3. Noe do step 1 with the second bottle.
  4. What Happened

What Happened????????
With the first bottle the balloon couldn’t work properly but the second one did because the air is been pushing. The big secret is that there is a hole in the bottom so the air is coming out. If you put your finger over the hole the balloon will stay up. This can work on any type of bottle just as long you have a hole in it.

ALWAYS HAVE ADULT SUPERVISION.

Warning: This contains some Gross scenes.

It was a while ago (January 3rd 2011 to be precise) and there were 5 people biking along the Napier bike way. Their names were myself Ethin, my sister Sage, Justin my step brother and Mum and my step Dad Blair. We all just got new bikes for Christmas and we went to go try them out. We planned a 5 hour day of cycling excitement. We were going to bike down to Hot Chick for lunch.

It was a busy day and there were people everywhere. I was going to lead since I was the smallest. Everyone had to go at my pace. Justin hated it. Sage didn’t like biking so she wasn’t that bothered. Me and Mum always bike so I went fast. Justin and Sage didn’t see it coming. Sage was already puffing and  Blair didn’t know I was this good.

It was like a hurricane of people coming to me. I had to weave my way through them.  It was like I was making a bag out of wool and I was the needle. Suddenly, there was a lady the wasn’t looking anywhere  but back at her friend. BANG. She hit me. I was trapped in under my bike. I was screaming for help. I was in so much pain. Luckily, I was wearing a helmet. Blair pulled my bike off me. There was people going slow for me. The hurricane suddenly stopped. Mum walked me back to the car and Blair took Justin and Sage to bike down to the aquarium and bike back.  

Finally, we got back to the car and Mum had a proper look at my knee. It was oozing blood and plasma. “EWW”, screamed Mum. She put a plaster over it. That didn't do anything. The blood and plasma was oozing down my leg. Blair, Sage and Justin came back from their bike ride to the aquarium and they thought it was disgusting. Blair found a little cloth a wiped off all of the disgusting liquid. We waited for a little bit and then the liquid stopped pouring out.

So did you get the catastrophe? I fell off my bike and hurt myself. It was bad. Today I still have the scar on my right leg. The good thing was I was wearing a helmet like every cyclist should. I hope this changes your mind on how to cycle properly. Remember to wear a helmet at all times.

The Force

The Force


Today at school. I did an experiment that makes a Ping pong ball float in the air. Why. In here it will tell you how to do the experiment and how it works.

What you will need: 
A Hairdryer
3 ping pong balls. 

How to do the experiment
  1. Hold your hairdryer in midair turned on. It will need to be on a high setting. 
  2. Put a ping pong ball on top of the hairdryer and it will float. 
  3. If you will like to you can add on another ball and another
How and Why does it work. 
This works because the air that the dryer is making is pushing it up. Why cant it go high. The invisible force called Gravity is battling against the wind to pull it down. If you add another ball. They will bobble up and down and one of them will fall off. This is because the wind field if not wide enough to hold both balls inside its field.
