How to make a balloon submarine. Experiment for children

Submarines are capable of submerging and floating. But if you've never been inside one to check it, you can create your own submarine with balloons to know why they are capable of doing it.

Submarines are capable of submerging and floating. But if you've never been inside one to check it, you can create your own submarine with balloons to know why they are capable of doing it.

With this science experiment for children you will make a submarine using only three balloons, a nut and a bottle of water. You will see how balloons pass from the bottom to the surface in a matter of seconds.

Materials

  • 3 small water balloons
  • 1 large nut
  • 1 plastic bottle
  • Water
Tip: Use a nut wide enough so that the balloons are somewhat loose and water can enter through the hole.

Experiment to make a submarine of balloons, step by step

1. Take three water balloons of the color or colors that you prefer.

2. Put the three balloons inside a nut, letting the nozzles protrude a little.

3. Introduce the improvised submarine inside a bottle filled with water and then close it.

4. After closing the bottle you squeeze the bottom part with your hand. You will see how the balloons descend to the bottom and if you let them float back to the surface.
