Experiment: how to inflate a balloon in a microwave, step by step
1. Take a balloon and pour some water inside it.
2. Tie a knot to the balloon so that the water does not come out.
3. Put the balloon in the microwave and heat it for a few seconds. You will see how it is getting bigger little by little.
When the balloon heats up, the water evaporates. Steam increases the volume inside and as it is elastic, the balloon grows.
