Dr. Pi Presents: Balloon fire STEM science experiment - fireproof balloon - Exploding or Not?

A balloon filled with air explodes if you put it over a flame. But did you know that with a small amount of water, you could keep your balloon inflated over a candle without it exploding? It’s a trick magicians use to surprise children. Inflate a balloon and ask an adult to tie a knot. With the help of an adult, light the candle and place your balloon over the flame. What’s going on? Repeat the same experiment, but this time you put water in your balloon. You then continue to inflate it by mouth, with the water inside. What’s going on here? Take a closer look at your balloon… do you see some soot? A fireproof balloon Water is a material that has the ability to store heat. The balloon, when inflated, is bounded by a very thin plastic membrane. The heat emitted by the flame passes through the balloon and heats the water. The warmer water is lighter so it rises, giving way to the colder water in the balloon. This heat exchange that occurs allows you to keep your balloon above the flame without it exploding. You may see soot on your balloon. A black substance that is easily removed with paper towels. This soot is made up of carbon, deposited by the flame. *Title:* Balloon Fire STEM Science Experiment: Fireproof Balloon | Exploding or Not? *Description:* Discover the thrilling science behind the "Balloon Fire" STEM experiment! In this video, we explore whether a balloon can withstand fire and remain intact, demonstrating principles of heat resistance and material science. Perfect for students, teachers, and science enthusiasts, this hands-on experiment tests the limits of a balloon’s durability when exposed to flames. Watch as we carefully conduct the experiment to see if the balloon will explode or survive, and explain the science behind why the balloon reacts the way it does. Ideal for classroom demonstrations, science fairs, or at-home experiments, this video makes learning about fire safety and material properties both exciting and educational.
