The best way for children to learn some basic principles of physics is by conducting children's experiments. With them they will have fun while they will begin to understand why certain phenomena happen.

Therefore, from GuiaInfantil.com we encourage you to do this series of balloon experiments with your children quickly and easily. Learn with three simple steps to make a balloon skewer without it exploding.

Materials

  • 1 balloon
  • 1 Needle or wooden skewer
  • Oil
Tip: Cross the balloon very carefully to avoid bursting.

How to go through a balloon without exploding, step by step

1. Take a balloon, swipe it and tie a knot in the mouthpiece.

2. Spread some oil on a wooden skewer skewer and on the knot part of the balloon.

3. Carefully traverse the balloon. Insert the skewer by the part of the knot and remove it from the opposite end.

When you blow a balloon with air, the internal tension increases but is not uniform. The part of the globe knot and its opposite are the areas with less tension, so we can cross the globe there without exploding.
